[AT] Farmall H with disk brakes, expanded a little--Dudley

[John Wilkens]

Well, both the 43 and SH have the cup plugs you describe so I guess they 
were retrofits like Guy suggested.  Now another question.  I just noticed 
the SH has axles that are almost 24 inches long.  I don't remember seeing 
H's or SH's with long axles like these.  Do you guys know if these were 
special orders?....maybe for dual wheels or ????    John
