We have what I believe is a 1942 Farmall H that I fixed up around 10 years ago. Not a whole lot for it to do but it comes out of the shed once in a while. I am currently working on restoring my grandpa’s 1941 Massey Harris 201 in my spare time. If anyone has any info for some parts I would much appreciate it.
