I think one of the questions only you can answer is if you buy one for $900 are you willing to put more money into it if necessary. If you need tires they will cost more than the tractor. If you get it home and doesn't charge that is more money. As far as things to look for - an H isn't any different than the typical old tractor. Does it start easily and not smoke, any leaks in the gas tank or radiator, condition of tires and rims, brakes work, any noise in the transmission. If you look in the gas tank the smell will tell you if its been sitting for a while and the gas may have gone bad. Manifold can be going bad, any patches on the transmission where a bearing may have gone bad or tried to move it with ice in it. Could have a lot of leaking oil seals and water in the transmission. If it has the old style pipe frame seat assembly I would check at the bend where the tool box is to see if it has rusted. They can rust enough to break off. I would start it, let it warm up a few minutes and drive it around. One thing all the old Farmalls would do is stick in 2 gears when the shifting lever and pivot pin wears out. I'm not sure how you know the condition until it actually sticks in two gears. Everything possibly bad is fixable for a price.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
