1950 Farmall H

Kind of made an impulse buy the other day. It needs to be cleaned up; needs new front tires, and a carb rebuild, but everything works and is mostly original.

Very nice. I do like the H's.

Man, that's a nice looking H. I do like your choice of impulse buys.

I think the H is my favorite "looking" tractor of all the larger Farmalls. It is kind of the epitome of tractors to me... I think you bought well!!

Yeah, that thing is filthy.....you need to "clean-ur up". Just kidding...........beautiful tractor. I agree with Mike, the H is my favorite.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

The funny thing is that I had been looking at green tractors and kept running across red ones that were better deals. This one cost me $1700 including delivery of 100 miles one way.

The first tractor I ever drove, of course, was our '48 cub, but the second tractor I ever drove was a neighbor's H. He put me on it to rake hay and I had a blast.
It was always in the back of my mind to recapture that feeling from almost 45 years ago.

And it really is dirty; the horizontal surfaces just don't show in the pics. Plus I've got to make those tires look black.

Nice!

Decided to remove the hood to see what I could see.





I didn't really like the way the manifold and exhaust pipe looked, so I went to Wally World and bought a Krylon rattle can of BBQ & Grill paint.



Looks better, I think.

Nice!
