I have a 1937 farmall f 20 that has been in our family since the 50"s. We still use it around the farm to pull hay wagons around and run the auger during the harvest. I took it out to an antique pull this past summer with meager results. Does anybody out there have any hints/suggestions to get this old girl pulling hard? I"ve got everything tuned up with the zenith carb but don"t have a lot of knowledge on the mag and governor on these old hunks of iron. I put it on the dyno at the show and it came out to 23 hp (should be at 27 from factory). I also was unable to run 540 rpm on the pto and they had to look up the rated hp in the book with the rpm that I was able to turn. This tractor was restored about 10 years ago. It got new sleeves and a complete overhaul. It runs good under load but simply ran out of power very early in the pull...any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
