1942 Farmall H Tractor

(From Legendary Farmall Tractors, a Photographic History by Lee Klancher and Randy Leffingwell)

The Model H’s four-cylinder I-head engine used a 3.375-inch bore and a 4.250-inch stroke and was rated at 1,650 rpm.

The engine for the original version was started on gasoline and ran on distillate or kerosene (a gasoline-burning engine appeared in 1940), and a variable-speed governor was used.

The engine oil was force-fed by an oil pump, and an oil filter strained grit from the lubricant.

Air and fuel cleaners were standard, as well, and an IHC H-4 magneto and IHC D-10 carburetor were used.

The distillate-burning version of the Model H was tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory in 1939 and produced 22.14 horsepower at the belt pulley. (Randy Leffingwell)

Tractor Tuesday —1937 Fordson All Around

(Photo and description from Classic Farm Tractors; 200 of the Best, Worst and Most Fascinating Tractors of All Time, written by Robert N. Pripps, images by Ralph W. Sanders — advertisement from the web).

In 1937, the Fordson celebrated its twentieth birthday with a new version, the tricycle-configured Fordson All-Around.

Production was split between the All-Around and the regular Fordson.

The All-Around was an attempt to get in on the trend of all-purpose, row-crop tractors, which were gaining popularity in the United States, and to win back the market that was lost when U.S. production ended in 1928.

Originally the paint was blue, but in 1938 it was changed to orange. The steering was also changed from the chicken-roost linkage to a stronger setup with universal points.

Some of the later models were painted green after the beginning of World War II.

ENGINE: 4-cyl., 267 ci FUEL: Distillate HORSEPOWER: 30 belt RPM: 1,100 DRIVE: Rear wheels TRANSMISSION: 3-speed (worm-gear reduction in differential) STARTER: Crank; impulse magneto STEERING: Manual; worm and sector TOP SPEED: 5 mph WEIGHT: 4,000 lbs.
