Walter: I'm certain you have no idea what your doing. For starters you would have told us the configuration of your H other than just narrow front. If you lower the center of graviety so it is exactly the same as your other tractors it will cross all the same steep slopes the other tractors do. You didn't even bother to tell us that, which tells me much about your level of intelligence. A lot of folks, and I suspect you are one of them, believe wheel tread adjustment was designed for nothing more than row spacing. Further that solid and liquid weight were options for nothing more than pulling. Not so, those items were primarilly used to balance tractor and lower tractor center of graviety. When American built row crops were designed we were growing corn in 36" to 42" rows, thus we set the tractor wheel tread from 72" to 84" depending on our row spacing. We then added weight to further lower the center of graviety. Wheel weights worked however liquid weight in the tires was much lower to the ground. All these item together will make your H just as stable as any other tractor. What we don't need on here is folks telling us the results of a bone headed tractor rollover test, without telling anyone specs of particular tractors. Your not going to have the same control of tractor standing on drawbar as you will in the operator's seat. What you should be testing and telling us is, how long you can drink beer standing up in a canoe, compared with a flat bottom boat. We'd like to know that, try the frist test in 3' of water. This will be exactly as informative as your proposal.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
