[AT] Spam> JD H

[Frank]

Don't know much about the H but the early ones (1939) have a high shift
quadrant...
I could tell a little more but looks like the advice is coming to you 

Actually I bet I could get you within a year or two.

Is it electric or hand start?
Look at the bottom radiator pipe. Is the cast elbow coming out of the head 
straight and short and the pipe going under the crossmember below the air 
cleaner? If it is then it is a early one. They were first made in 1939 and 
after serial number 27000 the cast pipe was almost full length between the 
head and radiator. That is the easiest way to tell. A lot of the early hand 
crank ones were converted to electric start so don't use that as an 
indication of its age.

I can't help you with the serial number, but there is a GOOD book out there 
on JD H restoration.  Might provide some hints.  A guy on YT wrote it.

I got the book, but don't have the tractor yet. :(  I am an IH man but I 
really like those JD H's!
