Just for fun, does anyone out there have any experience with a Farmall F12, F14, F16, etc. What experience did you have? What did you think of the tractor?

Dad bought his first tractor when he still had four draft horses, a 1937 F-12 on steel in 1943, for $400. Nothing was available new or had been for several years because of the war. In 1948 he bought a new E-3 CO-OP on rubber, with starter, lights, hydraulics and live PTO. This was pure luxury. By then I was 8 years old and the F-12 was all but retired. At that age I would drive it up a hill, steep enough that even with the steel wheels it would roll backwards down the hill. That is when I dropped the clutch and the front end would rear up, seems like the front wheels would be a couple feet off the ground. A now 71 year old neighboring farmer is still talking about this and how lucky we were not to kill ourselves. When his dad found out about our fun, son did not come over to play anymore. My dad never knew about it.

Hi Gang;
I know these 1930's Farmalls were very popular over there. Quite a few came here for use on the eastern side of the country on row crops. There are several W-12 & W-14 tractors that came over and have been restored. Where many sold & used over there?
I personally like the look of them, but the top speed was only around 4mph.
Cheers David

Lanse, there is no such thing as an F-16. We have a '37 F-12 on steel that I used to rake hay with every year till about 1999. It took forever, but was fun to use the old iron. It's in the middle of a restoration now. Doug N

I know about F-12's, F-14's, F-20's etc, but there is no such thing as a F-16.

Dad & my uncle co-owned an F-20 with a 2M-E cornpicker mounted on it. Never did see the tractor, picker stayed mounted. Drove it a few times just before it got sold.

Had no starter, hand crank - we parked it on the hills a lot. Had the top radiator shroud of course. Odd gearing for a picker, too slow or too fast, not enough choices. Had the rims cut down & rubber tires. Loud - straight pipe on it.

Dad loved to drive it. Uncle shuffled wagons & unloaded with his little tractor & hoist, dad drove the picker for about 90-100 acres a year. Us kids would be the hitch pin specialists. :)

Don't think there was ever a F16. F14 is just an F12 with a few more horsepower. Good little tractors for their size and time. I use my F14 for cultivating and raking all the time.
