Around this past December, I finally started dismantling my 1948 Farmall H. Hood, grille, head, manifold, radiator, and some other stuff are all off now. Still need to split tractor to remove the engine block. She is getting a complete rebuild, polished/turned crank, valves, pistons and sleeves, etc. Just picked up some distributor parts from Dwayne at Rustic Red Acres today so I can complete the overhaul of that component. As I pull stuff off, I am going through it and replacing anything that needs it, sand blasting, painting, and re-assembling. Finished parts go back on the shelf till I start putting the tractor together.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
