Hurricane Dennis really clobbered us. I'm in Pace, Fl, just east of Pensacola. The eye went right over my house. The house is O.K. and nobody got hurt, so we can't complain, although I didn't have power for 3 1/2 days. The storm really wrecked what was left of my oak trees. Last year after Ivan it took me over a week to clean up the mess and put it out by the road. Last winter I bought an electric start 34 F-20 with a belly pump and trip bucket manure loader on it. Everyone around thought it was a little silly for me to buy a tractor (I now have 3 running and one for parts) since I only have 1 acre. After the storm I used the loader to clean up the branches. I have about two tractor-trailer loads stacked out by the road. I did it in about 5 hours. Nobody is laughing now! It's the first time I've used it for any work and I had a ball. My dad had an F-20 when we lived in Iowa when I was a kid, but I was too little to operate it. I'm going to the Red Power Roundup to get some close up pictures to refer to during restoration. I really enjoy reading the posts in this forum and have gotten help and ideas many times. My other F-20's are an average 37 and a nice 39. The 39 will be in a couple of Christmas parades this year, I hope.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
