On the early H (not the SH)and any other letter series, electric starting was an option. You stood in front of the tractor and cranked it, I have done that hundreds of times. I was told at an early age to make sure it is in neutral. I commonly start my electric start tractors from the ground and let them idle anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the weather. It is HARD (read impossible) to get an IH tractor into gear with the clutch engaged. You have something out of adjustment. You say you had everything apart. Did you put the springs back in the shift mechanism, if I remember right there are "poppet" springs and balls that put tension on the shift lever, without them the lever is loose, and the position of the lever is vague at best. It could have been partially in gear when started and perhaps vibrated into gear. In my mind, unless the parts are severely worn, it is impossible for it to shift gears by itself.
