I agree that the steering on these tractors was easy, and especially smooth on the F-20 with the worm steering gear. I believe the iron steering wheel was part of it--acted like a flywheel. I've driven F-12s with both iron and rubber steering wheels, and only the iron wheel could be "spun." A few years ago, I acquired an F-20 with a wheel off an H (those very thin, light wheels), and it could not be spun, either. The Regular, with those straight gears, had no resistance to kickback. The F-20 had some, but maybe because of the way it was designed (big worm, big teeth in the gear wheel?), it also was subject to kickback in rutted ground. Both these tractors with iron steering wheels seemed to have some "life" in the steering, something I don't recall feeling in the later tractors with thin rubber steering wheels. Maybe I'm a romantic and am imagining things.
