Farmall H steps?

[banjoman09]

Do they make a step for the "H"...? I step on the draw bar then on the axle to get on the seat......is there an aftermarket step some of you use? Thanks.

I've never seen any type of aftermarket steps for the Farmalls. I've had thoughts of finding the steps from a combine and adapting them.

They make steps for the A's and Cubs. They use the same bolts that the draw bar uses. I dont know if these will work on the H or not. If you're using the tractor in a garden you have to be careful because the steps can hit crops if they are tall and wide.

A nice middle step could be made with a14 inch piece of 1.5X1.5 angle iron. Make a bolt on adapter to the drawbar mount bolt, and a U bolt to the trailing Diagonal brace. Jim

Those off set tractors are hard to get on in my opinion - a step is very handy. Especially when you get older.

I wanted to be able to climb on my 560 and SMTA from the front as the 3 point makes it awkward from the back. I found some steps on ebay that are made for JD a,b,g etc. worked really good on my tractors. You might try finding a step for something else that you can modify.

I've made two steps for my "H". First one is simple, a welded flat piece of 3x10 steel on top of the left-hand 3-point arm. You just put a right foot on that step, then raise up and put the left foot on the fender hold-down bolts on the axle, and raise up and swing a right leg into place.
The other, I had a step welded up, out of 3/4 re-bar, for the right side of the tractor. Hard to describe, but it runs from a big nut held in by a big bolt on the right side of the frame, down 6", forward 6", outboard 6", back about 24" to the 3-point hold bracket arm. [ I told you it was hard to describe. ] Sorry, no camera.

I have a Farmhand F11 loader on my M. I do not have any steps, but I did fabricate a couple of "grab handles", installed on the loader, on the left hand side. The first handle helps me get onto the drawbar, and the second handle helps me get a foot on the axle and then I just swing my right leg over the seat. I am not nearly as nimble as I used to be.
