First post here for me, hoping for some info.
I am looking at buying a 1923 Model F. The tractor is in great shape from what I can tell, 100% original, never any sort of attempt at a restoration by anyone. First thing I have noticed is that where I believe the governor should be, there isn't anything. Did all of these come with a governor? What about ignition parts? Are these hard to come by? The lid is missing from the coil box, but apparently when the guy bought the tractor from the original owner, he took the (wooden?) coil box out and put it in his shop for safe keeping, and still has it. Anything to look out for? The block appears to be in good shape, and the radiator even looks great. Steering wheel is all there as well. I will try and post some pictures here when I get that figured out.
Thanks in advance![/img]
