The story of our 1940 John Deere H and how we picked it up in Northern Iowa, loaded it into the back of our pick-up truck, and drove back to Northern Utah. Also the first start after rebuilding the engine.
It's kinda surprising how small an H is. It was a tight fit... But it worked great. Much easier than pulling a trailer back and forth across the country!
Just got my John Deere H back after many years gone the gentleman who had it did a lot of quality work on it . Still has a ways to go but looking forward to working on it . Getting very hard to find them .
WHERE have you been hiding this little jewel for 3 years?! Awesome to haul it in the back of a truck, never would’ve thought. I always wanted a H when I was back in MN but they were kinda rare and pricey. So 37 years later, I bought one in ID and had it shipped to alaska. A fun little tractor! PS. WHO has a flip phone, even 3 years ago.! Excellent video
Your right, they are kinda rare. We don't use the H for much other than parade driving or moving wagons or other equipment around the yard... It's just too small. But it is fun and easy to drive. And until about two years ago my parents used a flip phone. 😂
Wow, that looks like my grandfathers old John Deere that we used on our farm here is S.E. Iowa. Amazing if that used to be his, but I think it was a 1941 B which was a bigger machine
No. We had no issues. But our machinist decked the head and the block mating surfaces. We did not use any sealers. Just the proper torque to the head bolts.
