John Deere H with all the options

This is my 1942 John Deere H. I grew up around a John Deere H that had always been in my family, so as I got older I tracked down one that I could call my own. This tractor now has all factory options including electric start, headlights, hydraulics, front wheel weights and the super scarce overpulley that you see in the photo.
