Wardner -- Yes, that's what I meant -- I read the things 3 or 4 times, then still make mistakes I don't find until too late. I have a 41 H, too new to have the serial on the rails, but it does have the old style engine mounts. I have gray hair, but left the farm in 1960, and what I remember may be incorrect. For example, our H had a kero/distillate carb when new as far as I am concerned. I put gas in it for 10 years so I am absolutely positive it did not have a starting tank or shutters, I don't remember what the manifold looked like -- didn't know there was more than one in when the tractor was purchased. However, my dad, right or wrong, likely wrong, taught me to wash the grease off my hands by opening the petcock on the carb -- very easy and convenient, and I never caught on fire. Perhaps our older H had that carb and he put the IH petcock in for that purpose? I don't think hand cleaners were around in the 40's. And as far as I know it had the Monroe seat when new in 1947, not the deluxe IH seat -- I suppose it could have been dealer installed, but I doubt it. But, I was only 10 at the time the tractor was bought and knew even less then than I do now.

The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
