I just had an H follow me home. I haven't yet checked it's birthday but have already had some fun. Seller had not run it for several years, he had hooked the battery with negative ground and jump started it. After some contact cleaning, polarity change and a new ground cable, it starts and charges. The tires are ragged and sheetmetal rough, but...it is mine. It has a power steering unit that was dry and the engine oil was as black as crude. It smokes a little and dribbles a lot. A real problem is no room in the barn. Other toys in the way. My wife and granddaughter came out to see what I was up to. "Where did that come from?" I'll be looking at the posts here and will pu a manual ASAP. Will probably have a lot of questions. It has been 29 years since we sold my dad's H. We kept the 51 Ford 8N (48 years for me) Wasn't into the hobby then but sure wish I had and had kept the H that I spent hundreds of hours on. Oh well.
