Vehicle description
Model 404HH shortened to about the length of a full sized long bed pickup for maneuverable pulling, factory skirted reinforced frame, what looks like about a 3 ton Eaton 2 speed vacuum operated differential, huge non-warping non-scoring alloy iron brake drums, hydrovac assisted. Stops repeatedly and very powerfully if needed under severe conditions, better than some late model pickups. A dash mounted electric brake unit and wiring are installed for trailers with electric brakes. Massive seven point frame mounted hitch accepts height adjustable solid steel pillars for quick change between 2 inch and 2 5/16 balls. My 1958, 33 ft. vintage Silver Streak house trailer could not bully this tractor but the Diamond T bullied the trailer. She rides about like a firm riding one ton pickup and is registered as a 3/4 ton truck. Many of the original leaf springs were pulled to alleviate the otherwise intolerably brutal ride quality (kidney belt was required). My Diamond T book identifies the 404 HH as a 2 ton truck, explaining the "HH" to be the heavy version, skirted frame, etc.
