You should try one of the replacement friction type throttles. They fit perfect and look good too. I put one on one of my M's several years ago and it works like a charm. Keep on plowin!
I am seriously thinking about going with one of those aftermarket friction type throttles. My Dad just took one off an H he is restoring, and I think I'm going to hijack it.
I restored a second Little Genius on rubber with joiners instead of rolling coulters. I am going to bring it to RPRU in June. Are you going?
Tony I haven't regretted putting one on mine and have had 0 trouble out of it since(1996). OEM makes and sells new original spec throttles. They cost 64 dollars in my last catalog. Their number is 1-800-283-2122
Hey A Swineheart. It's me georgeky. I hate to see you getting that plow dirty. I still have the pics you sent me when it had shiny new paint on it. hehehe! Just kidding. Th H and Little Genius were built to work. Glad to see you using them. I have a 3 bottom LG No 8 but it is all rusty.
I like it. Still a lot of those Hs and Ms working hard 50 to 60 years after they were made. I don't think todays stuff will make it near that long. Planned obsolesence they call it. Nice tractor you have there. Not an ounce of quit in her.
Thank you. You are right. They used to make these things to be repaired easily by the owner. Owners were encouraged to do so. They gave tools with the tractor at time of purchase and detailed repair instructions. Today they just say "see your authorized service repair shop". It's a throw-away world, now. Keeps them turning out junk year after year...
@PurdueAg Yeah, that was back when they were all made in the USA, people actually farmed with them and the government hadn't stuck their long bony fingers in everyone's pie.
hey capt cannibas, even 3rd gear would have been tough for that sod, 2nd gear and some wheel weights be the best ticket for the good old H,if it was a 20hp engine then 1st gear, H, is a good tractor
What gear were you trying to plow in, 4th? My old man would have tanned my ass for bogging the tractor down like that. He would have accused me of trying to burn the thing up or tearing the clutch out. Of course, my old man complained about everything.
I was in third, but my notches on my throttle are worn, so unless I have my hand on the throttle, it slips back to idle. Because I had my camera in one hand and the steering in the other, I couldn't keep the rpm's up while I was filming (hence the bogging down). I need to get the throttle lever welded up so I won't have to hold it in place.
Old iron is the best
