Phil removed the original Farmall manure loader and replaced it with a superior Farmhand F-11 loader. Other than that modification, the tractor has remained in it's original unrestored condition.

The Model "H" Farmall, introduced in 1939, was the replacement for the F-20. Industrial designer, Raymond Lowey, had been engaged by International Harvester management to completely restyle the tractor line. The new styling took the form of smoothly contoured bright red sheet metal and a new grille. A foot clutch was placed on the left side of the ample platform, and dual brake pedals were on the right. Gone was the old cable steering brake setup, and a five-speed transmission replaced the four-speed unit of the F-20.

A new engine was developed for the H that was more modern and operated at 1650 RPM. It had 25 HP which gave it the capability to handle a 14" two-bottom plow or to drive a 22" thresher with relative ease. It also featured key-axle rear wheel width adjusting. The spread could be changed from as close as 44" to as wide as 80". This particular tractor has extra long axles, allowing the wheel base to exceed 100", making this "H" quite rare.
