[AT] 1946 Farmall H

[Michael Miller]

Gene,

Are you looking for just general 660 info or about that one in particular?  
That one has something like 1200 hours on it.  It came from North Dakota and 
currently resides in Nebraska.   I'd love to buy it but doubt I'll be able 
to anytime soon.  The current owner bought it with a cab on it and 
antifreeze in the oil.   It was just the headgasket.  He had the head done 
while it was off.   I got it started for the first time in over a year while 
I was out there and drove it around.   He says I'm nuts but I really like 
that tractor!!!  They've turned the pump up a little and put the juice to it 
and it has limitless power.   I guess I couldn't really work it much without 
an implement, though.

What else would you like to know?

Mike

>>It seems we are all getting the winter crazies.  I just thought I'd post a 
>>link to a picture of the 1946 Farmall H I bought at my uncles farm sale 
>>this past weekend.  He did remove the fenders and weights before it sold. 
>>It was going too cheap and I picked my nose once and brought it home  :-) 
>>We have used this tractor before, several years ago back before I actually 
>>bought my own tractors to do our farming with.  It runs well and while it 
>>needs a little loving I thought it wasn't too bad for what I paid for it. 
>>I was going to resell it but I made the mistake of telling my lady friend 
>>it was her tractor and now I think I have to keep it.  I've got an HM-221 
>>cultivator setup I'd like to mount on it but I'd also like to find a 2 
>>bottom 4240 Oliver plow and then take the pair to plow days.   I've got a 
>>3 bottom for behind my Super MTA that I'd like to take as well but I'll 
>>need a bigger trailer first!   I like the IH plows but a #60 or #70 that 
>>is equivalant to the 4240/4340 is twice the money so I'll stick with the 
>>Olivers.  They do work good, too.
>>
>>Over christmas break, I took apart the governor on my Super MTA.  I had a 
>>hunch that it was wore and it was.   The holes in the weights that the pin 
>>goes through was ate out about twice the size it shoulda been.  One of the 
>>bearings was also bad.  I had purchased another governor off EBAY because 
>>I thought it was too cheap and for what it was, it was too cheap indeed. 
>>It had been gone through, everything was tight.  I swapped it onto the 
>>Super MTA and while I need to do some adjusting in the linkages yet it is 
>>already a great improvement.  I'm hoping now that I have that fixed maybe 
>>it'll run well enough to pull that three bottom.   It ran OK before but it 
>>just seemed like it ran out of power before it should have.   We have an M 
>>that would outlug it any day of the week.
>>
>>I've got 10 million projects to do but no time, money, or space to do 
>>them.  I need to swap the brake shaft and pedals out of a Super M parts 
>>tractor into that Super MTA, tinker with dads M a little bit, fix the 
>>Steering in that M, put my A back together, rebuild the head on the 
>>Oliver, play with that new H, yadda yadda yadda.

>>Whats everyone else upto?
