Can you imagine actually farming with that crude of a tractor? Even stuff fron 60 years ago would run circles around it. But it takes a real farmer to drive one like yours!

It was a big step up from a team of horses.

Nice!

My back always goes, "Ouch, ouch, ouch" when I see those F-12 and/or F-14 seats. They had to be brutal.

When I see something like that, any type antique equipment, car, truck...

Just think, at one time in history, that was in a showroom! The day it became someones property it was someones pride and joy, brand new shiny toy, life just got so much easier, envy of the neighbors that didn't have one!

What a difference a few years makes!

Dad's two older brothers went "custom" farming with an F-12 in the '30s. Before I left the farm in '61 I cut a lot of hay with it. had a semi-mount mower permanently attached.

James, How's she run? I find mine has very poor throttle control. Good idle and lower mid range than it wants to jump to full throttle.
I have tried adjusting linkage fro carb to governor, no better.

ENVY! When we got our first B Farmall. Dad's sister said she hoped that her boys would farm with horses because the exhaust fumes were a health hazard. Her 5 boys smoked! I did not

Those steel wheel actually ride pretty smooth in the field. Not so much on a gravel road.

Looks great James! I still have that pair of
fenders if I could figure out how to ship them.

If you have fastenal stores near you & receive locations, try them out. Done that a couple times. Ask for a cheaper rate from the first quote too. ;-)
