was given this tractor has been sitting for who knows how long, took bout 2 hours to cut the vine and trees out off it. Got it pulled out Saturday but the left rear wheel would not turn. I was able to shift the shifter in to the gears and back to neutral before pulling. SO maybe froze up brake any suggestions? Thanks.

yes they are very prone to brakes sticking if sitting outside for a long time. Remove brake cover spray with PB Blister. Jack up that rear wheel and see if you can rock it back and forth to get it to break loose. I have found that light tapping on the drum will sometime free the stuck shoes if not you will need a 2 bolt wheel puller. That will tread into the 2 hole on the drum to pull them off.

I got it jacked up yesterday but the honey bees living in the gas tank got mad when i was tapping on axle and housing,next step is get rid of bees than continue, Thanks.

If they are in fact TRUE honey bees that tank is likely to be junk since you will never get all the wax out off the tank plus the bees need to be saved since they are being killed off and if all the bees died so will we

yep its junk its rusted out at the outlet and the cap was left off the tank, this one has lots of troubles its on full steel and gonna end up being yard art.

When I started buy and selling and repair old tractor an F-12 was one of the first ones I got. It was on steel wheels and it ended up going to Texas
