Your right, I have had a sheltered existance. Never had a need for anything bigger or better. Learned one lesson from my Scottish/Quaker ancesters and thats to make do or do without. Although my father and grandfather might have taken that to a little too far. I grew up cranking the H to start it. I was always told that one time the tractor broke in half and afterwards the starter motor never worked. A few years ago I did a valve job on this tractor and after my son-in-law kept questioning about why I never tried to fix the starter, I grabbed jumper cables and a battery to show him that the starter wouldn't work. Imagine my surprise when the tractor started!! I then turned to my father (91 years old) and told him I now knew the real story. He and his father bought the tractor brand new in 1942.
