Looking for Grandpas tractor.

My Grandpa use to farm here in Riverside california. My dad claims he had bought a brand new F-14 Tri farmall when they came out and had it on the farm for many years. When the late 40's came and early 50's my dad said he had an auction and sold all the equipment he had. I hear it on classic tractor about these people who find there dads old tractor and how it comes back to the family. So I thought if I said some thing and put it out here some body would might think about a tractor bought in Riverside California back in the late 40's to the early 50's. That is a three wheel type and might even came with a custom made hitch for the front tire to be towed by a truck. My grandpa had a tow hitch made for it that could be removed in order for him to tow the tractor behind the I H truck he had. I know these F-14 are rare and it might be never found out there but I was just thinking how many of you think you might have it. I think if I could find it and buy it I would have my family roots back. Just carrying a family tradition I do have some farm tractors over here but nothiing that my Grandpa had owned. Brent
 
A tractor that old may have also been lost in a hedgerow somewhere over the years. While there are many that last for 60 or 70 years, there are more that just plain wore out and were either scrapped, abandoned, or destroyed for that reason.
I wish you good luck in your quest!
 
Brent:

You need to search through any of the paperwork that may have been handed down to your Father to find out the SERIAL NUMBER for that tractor. Without that serial number you will never know for certain if any tractor you find is the EXACT tractor that your Grandfather had.

It's a worthy quest you've embarked on - the Doc got it right. Hopefully, you will come up with the serial # - gonna be tough enough even with it BUT I've got confidence in you! Go get 'em, son, and GOOD LUCK TO YOU! :)
