After nearly 3 years of rebuilding my F-12 i brought that tractor back to life today. A few months ago I set a goal of having it running by mid October. I must say I'm awful proud of myself for beating my goal by a few weeks!
My wife has been amazing the last couple weeks as she understood how hard I was working to get it running and she pretty much just let me do my thing out in the shop every night.
This was my first F series rebuild. I learned so much and definitely challenged my skills and knowledge at times. Thanks to everyone here who has helped along they way.
This was also my first time dealing with an F4 mag and seems I nailed it. Tractor started on my 6th crank and has been starting at around 2-4 cranks since. I'm of course still learning the tendencies of the motor
I do plan to paint it but will probably wait a year and get all the bugs worked out.
