Lead additives are a waste.

Run regular 87 or even 85 octane fuel in your H. The compression is so low that high octane fuel will be nothing but a waste of money.

I run Mobil Delvac1 5w-40 in my H. 75 psi oil pressure all day long at anything above idle speed. Hot low idle it drops to 50 psi.

Pull the oil pan off any tractor you buy - if there is sludge, clean it out as best you can. Then run modern oil in it.

As for the oil filter doing nothing - I believe it started on the H's and M's that full pressure lubrication went mostly through the filter. I know this much for sure: if you leave the filter loose it will pump the oil out in a matter of a few seconds (don't ask).
