That's a warning decal, it was either on the PTO shield or not on the tractor at all, but I put it on the grille, at the time I thought it was the correct place since I've seen a few other H's with the decal put there.

I should add... The mower is a IHC 25-V.

If you are referring to the FARMALL decals that are the early style with no logo and say McCormick Deering, they were used up until 1945.

I used Dura-Shield IH Red #4205 on the H. Now they changed it to Van Sickle, (I need to check the code).

i think 2150 is the original red

I heard Ih used Harvester #50 which is now 2150.

IH had two reds. The first was the #50 red, then IH changed their formula just a little bit to 2150 red. I dont remember which exact year it was that IH did this, but I found out when my dad and I were discovering the IH formula to get an exact match in DuPont IMRON for our '39 H.

No, hood and grille were really beat up. I bought the sheetmetal and a lot of other parts my putting wanted ads in the YTMAg classifieds.

How does the loader work wit those front wheels? Those clamp on wheels tend to spin when they get a load

The wheels seem to work fine.
