Well I'll have to check if your interested but I know of a nice H in 
good shape, runs good (needs a new manifold gasket due to a small air 
leak that causes it to skip when cold) Has been repainted but could use 
a new coat due to fading. Last I knew it even had a belt pulley laying 
in the shop and there were a LOT of spare parts in storage.
Current owner is my father. He also was the one who shot the paint on it 
and restored it 15-20 years ago.

He also has a Ferguson TO-20 that might be for sale as well. It needs 
paint REAL BAD. The tin is all there but the factory paint is long gone. 
It's set up but I haven't pulled the head to see how bad. It has VERY 
low actual hours on it. The original owner bought it and then let it 
set, he decided it was to small to handle hay wagons with. My 
grandfather bought it off him and used it to pull a rake and do fence 
lines. I used it to pull logs for a couple years and then it sat, and 
sat... Until GF passed away and my father bought it. Then he brought it 
home and it has sat some more. He did dump some kroil/kero mix into the 
plug holes and hasn't really touched it since.

Let me know if your interested.
