Hello Goat! You have two great resources for NOS and reproduction parts, the only I can add is Alderson Tractor who has used and reproduction. From those three you should have no trouble making that F-20 run like a top.

'59, old iron? That's just getting broke in! :wink: Welcome aboard Don! :tiphat:

Got a PM last night, saying pretty much nothing. See 0 posts on the profile, but two others must have had reason to visit the profile too. :confused: By coincidence, plenty of seat time today. I'd rather done without any of it; two hours on 1 tractor clearing the driveway - then an hour...

Thanks for the great pictures! :thumb: If you didn't already know, that is a midyear 1929 "22-36" 15-30: the former designation is what many farmers called them to distinguish the "new 15-30" from those before '29. About half of the "new 15-30s" were built this year and about 1/3 total 15-30s...

AFAIK, IHC didn't use the International label [and there I'm talking hood stencils not ID plate, probably identical among W/I/O/Fairway 12/14, and likely the Farmall F-12/14 too] for industrial versions vs. McCormick for farming oriented F-series and standard tread versions thereof. That...

O-12 is possible too; but, as pictured, the front wheels looked more to me like an option for industrial than orchard. The distinctions though, without opening a book are a bit out of my knowledge base.

A quick search on I-12 McCormick give this; first hit I think.

Howdy California! I believe I recall seeing you post that one on FF, but I'm not sure if I identified it right. Looking at the one with Vin on it [in the rest of the set], I'm pretty sure you have an I-12 [or 14, same engine with a few RPMs more], the industrial version of the Farmall F-12...

On second thought, maybe only the J's had the Waukesha. :confused:

Ahhh, a few years earlier than the ones I know and standard rather than rowcrop. I think they ran a Waukesha engine instead of the MM, but don't quote me on that. Hand operated clutch was the same I think, but again don't quote me.

I don't have any electronic pictures handy, but I have a bit of a softspot for the Molines too. My dad ran IH, but my grandpa and great-grandpa were MM. From the Z to probably the U, they had odd governors IMHO; wouldn't kick in until right after you got through the tough spot! Still enough...

I haven't resized any lately, but I had a few on photobucket worth a try. Also, a good depiction is on this page.

I know I know; worthless without pictures, but a few weeks ago I think I finally compiled all the parts I needed [seemed like every part I took off needed to be reworked or replaced, then putting it back together kept finding things!] yet, I haven't resized many pictures. Still decapitated...

Sweet! And that last picture makes it "cute" as well as "cool" :thumb:

I'm a bit late to the game here, but even got a bit busy to hang around FF lately, so when a bit of weather made some computer time look very attractive to procrastate getting doused with freezing rain -even if just out to the garage- I had to get a bit caught up over there, and got to wondering...
