[Farmall] New '47 H

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

I picked up a 1947 H this weekend. Had to drive it home since I couldn't 
borrow or rent a trailer that could carry it. PO had the rear tires filled 
with calcium chloride and a set of weights mounted. Said it weighed in at 
about 4200 pounds. About a 45 mile ride, resulting in a 3 hr tour of the 
backroads. Ran fine, oil pressure stayed right in the middle of the gauge 
and the temp gauge didn't show any signs of it getting over heated. One 
minor leak I noted after it sat for a day. Looks like the seal on the belt 
pulley might need to be replaced. When my wife was sitting in the driver's 
seat giving it the once over, I turned the belt pulley by hand to look it 
over and noticed a small puddle of oil on the cement. I'll have to call my 
normal parts supplier and see what a seal is going to run.

Now I need to start looking for a front end loader to mount on it. Can 
anybody provide some insight into what it's going to take to mount one. 
I've got a pretty good idea of what's involved, but then this is my first 
H and I don't want to pick something up that I can't use or have to go 
find other missing parts for it. Any advice would be appreciated.
