[Farmall] Farmall H

[E. John Puckett]

James, I don't know whether you intend a loader or a blade, but either 
way you will need quite a bit of weight on the rear.  also don't forget 
that unless it is a super H with the live hydralic kit, the lift will 
only work when the clutch is up.  I spent many years on an H, and still 
like driving them, but it would not be my choice of a snow plow 
tractor.  pretty tall and slow for that type of job.  plus if you are 
using a loader they were not available with power steering.
