Is the engine serial number the same or close to the tag number? Does the tank mount the tag is on have grey paint on it? It's possible the mount was changed and the tag is from a newer tractor which would explain the grey paint. The engine number on the block near the fuel pump should be the same or close. The steering shaft on all F-12's was one straight shaft parrallel with the top of the gas tank but a lot of them were changed to the F-14 style later. Spend a few hours with that wheel between your knees and you will wish it was a little higher. The factory even had a kit to update to the angle steering and longer F-14 brake handles. The kit had a new serial number plate to replace the original when the kit was installed. They reserved 500 serial numbers for this kit but I don't remember what the range of those numbers was. I've never seen a seat like that, I don't think it's correct. All the post type seats I've seen have a coil spring over the post thats bolted to the top of the trans. cover and the seat pipe sits on the spring. Tractors with hydraulics have a flat spring that mounts to the front of the hydraulic unit and curves up and back for the seat to bolt to.Have fun, Ed
