[Farmall] New '47 H

[a_dickinson at att.net]

I have a NO.31 on my '52 H and use it quite a bit. The H has a narrow front 
without power steering, no loaded tires, one set of weights, wheels out 
aways, and lift-all powering it. It works great for what it is (trip bucket, 
power up, non-live power). I have used it to load some fairly heavy logs to 
go to a sawmill, up to eight bundles of shingles at a time on to a roof 
(didn't lack power just hard to steer and hard on the front tires), and of 
course dirt, snow, and multch. Here at our place in Michigan the terrain is 
fairly flat and I haven't had any trouble with the tractor wanting to pick 
up/roll, but a good dose of common sence goes a long way (keep load down 
low, speed down, slow turns, etc.)
If I had a picture I would share it, but it is very simular to John 
Puckett's Model 30 picture. Incidently my loader was aquired from another 
list member Stan Bass. Thanks Stan, loader is still working great and I 
finially got the tine cover made for it.
