Farmall h's sadly get little to no respect. The key to being happy with a factory bone stock one is having the X1 suffix which is the gasoline only model IMOP.
Even a wimpy X1 model will likely put out 27 hp. Add in a better selection of gears than say an 8N Ford's. 1st and 2nd gear on the Farmal H will both be slower than an 8N Ford is in 1st gear. Reverse on the Farmall is slower too and much more useful. More engine torque. Big wheels rarely spin out like little wheels do. Good operator comfort for the era of tractor. The h is a miser on fuel too for the technology being used. Super simple tractor, if anything does break super cheap and simple to fix. Tell me how often you hear of anyone having to spend thousands of dollars to majorly overhaul their Farmall h or Farmall M motor cuase the cylinder sleeve O-rings leaked anti-freeze into the oil and wiped everything out. Or their injector pump leaked diesel into the motor and wiped everything out? Or they had to do major work to get the PTO operational again.
Dry sleeve motors on those farmalls rarely if ever give issues, super simple PTO and gear system that just works.

I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
