Farmall H

[George Rausch]

What do these numbers mean;
FBH 339655 X1
I've added 12-volt, 3-point, work fenders, and this old boy has torn apart every implement I have. A workhorse!

With that serial number looks like its a 1950 H

 

[Theman]

The "X1" denotes a gasoline only engine. It will have a higher compression head with longer valve stems, cold manifold, flat-top cast iron pistons, and no radiator shutter assembly or linkage. It may or may not have a temperature gage.

As noted below the stock HP was in the mid 20s.
It may have been upgraded with a big bore sleeve kit, and higher compression pistons. With these they can make 10 to 15 HP more. They are way cool tractors. JimN

If it has torn up implements, do a compression check, if it has 150 lbs or higher per cyl it will have higher compression pistons than stock gas engine. Mine does and it is a beast also.
