Has any one ever heard of a Farmall f-20 lightweight? How many of these were made and who made them?

Phil it is home made Front half F-20 back half F-12.

Built by gas power engineering department in 1935 supposedly 9 sold to farmers probably for testing. Had straight axles and the rear looked something like a F-12. Never regularly produced.

An IH prototype book shows one that is an F 12 rear end,and a F20 engine/front end. They were never 'mass produced'.

Is this what you are talking about? Says Blacksmith made.
If any of what D Slater is talking about it would be very very Rare. If it were a prototype most were destroyed by IH after testing.

F-21 pictured, F-20 lightweight didn't look much different. Guy Fay Experimental and prototype book has records indicate 9 F-20 lightweight were sold to farmers. For F-21 it is believed 9 were produced for farmers.
Don't know of any surviving but won't claim there's not.

I have read that in the past and seen the picture in the book, but have never seen nor heard of one or seen any other pictures.
If one did exist it would be one of nine. very very rare.
