[AJD] Test and question

[John Paur]

Kevin,  I ran into the same thing several years ago when working on an H.
The best I could determing is that the smaller flywheel is from a very early
H.  My tractor is a '45 and was electric start. I converted it to hand start
and  put one of the smaller flywheels on it and it does just fine.  I would
imagine that the larger/heavier flywheel would give the engine more torque.

looking for a flywheel to go on a new project tractor I am restoring. The
tractor is a 1939 J D "H" hand start no electric serial number 10227.

> What I found was 2 flywheels with the same casting number of H227R but
they were not the same size.ie:one wheel was about two inches larger in
diameter and about 1/2 inch wider at the hand edge.My question is which one
would be the right one for me and why were there two different sizes made
with the same casting number?
