Sloroll; THanks for picture and reply. Now I understand what a Duckbill F-20 is. I grew up on a farm in S E Nebraska, helped dad, and neighbors when dad didn't need me. I've known a lot of F-20's, but none like you picture. I've seen them with throttle on left side, Throttle on right side, Throttle on the steering colum with the spark advance lever, Cast rear wheels, with removable rims, steel lugs, cut off wheels with rims welded on, and lots of other variations. Seen a few like somebody mentioned on another post, that had been 2 tractors made into one. It was comonly done, what ever parts were abailable and the price was right, were used. One poor old fellow that I sometimes worked for, about 46 or 47, he bought a "F-30" He hired me to plow a few days with it. It had open steering gears, manual set inmpulse coupler on the magneto, 3 speed transmission. I didn't have the heart to tell him that sombody had painted a Regular red and sold it to him for a F-30. As far as I know he went to his grave without knowing he'd been took on the tractor. Sorry this so long.
