Most overrated tractor.

Little know secret, my family was 97% red back in the 40's and 50's, much before my time. Story is they bought an h new, and traded it off shortly after for the super c(which we still have). The super c supposedly outworked the h, and dad still swears all an h was good for was pulling stubborn chickens off their nests.

OK, you guys are right about the ignition thing. Guess I don't know enough about them to realize when they went to dist. Looking back, I now know I could have pulled the mag out and took it to the shop to work on, but it would have been A LOT of trips back and forth from the pastures to the shop. LOL! I never knew exactly what was wrong with it. Every piece of the mag had been replaced, including the casing.(used) I always kept a set of points, condenser, etc. in the tool box. Also kept sandpaper, emory board, and carb cleaner(when the electrical was working right, the carb. would usually screw up within 30 to 45 minutes. LOL!) Maybe I shouldn't complain, but it sure was hard to get anything done with it. Oh, forgot to mention, it also had a FEL with an oversized bucket for cleaning out chicken houses. That made working on it even more fun, and the armstrong steering was great! I was just a dumb kid back then. Now, I would probably be able to get a little more out of it(maybe). Maybe one day i'll give it another try. It's still sitting over at my cousins place in the very chicken house it used to clean out. Sorry for the long post.
