Re: New H owner w/questions
My list also says 1942. X6 means low speed gears.
The linkage is for a radiator shutter. The complete linkage would have a rod that goes back to within reach of the operator with a very small crank at the rear. Another link would go past the radiator to connect to the shutters. I've seen quite a few tractors where the only part remaining is what you have in your picture. The full set-up is shown in the Parts Catalog.
The starter switch location changed during H production. I'm not sure which location applied in early '42. You should be able to find it in a Parts Catalog. Without a picture, don't know if you have a correct mounting bracket or switch.
This tractor would have originally had an H-4 magneto.

Re: New H owner w/questions
Welcome to the H owners club. My 42 is 1193 units newer than yours, and the starter button was mounted on the rear fuel tank support. When I went to the parts store for a new one, they said it was the same as a Mack starter button. I believe this was the original location, and I just checked my owners manual from 42 and it says to "step on the starter button" and I think I can see it in the cut-a-way drawing. I checked a I have dated 2-1-52 and it shows it mounted on the steering post opposite the ammeter box and says to "press in on the starter button". I picked up a steering post mount and moved mine from the original location because it was a tight squeeze for my foot to get to. The IH engineer who put it on the tank support must have had a small foot. John

Re: New H owner w/questions
The original starter switch was the large manual type. It was bolted to the tank support, sticking throuth the large hole where your solenoud is bolted. There should be 2 holes in the steering support where a pin was inserted to act as an extension for the switch. You pushed on the back end of the pin with your foot to hit the switch.

Re: New H owner w/questions
I forgot about that rocker/paddle Jim. Mine was missing, so I made one, but moving the switch up I think was a better idea. That way you had a foot for the brakes and didn't have to worry about kicking the brake latch. I wonder if that had anything to do with IH moving the switch? John

Re: New H owner w/questions
The rocker/paddle thing was an aftermarket goodie. The factory set-up was just the pin. It had a cotter pin to keep it from loosing out.

Once again you are right,After removing the old switch I seen the two holes Got the correct push button swith and mounted it.Like John said ain't no way I could get my fat foot to push it. Did not look for the holes on the post though I'll do that tonight and try to make something. Thanks again.

I think the foot operated lever was standard on some years. The Hs I have seen with that system also had the hole in the gas tank support in a slightly different location, so the switch would line up with the lever.
