GOOD SAVE!!!!
The first F12s (serial number FS501 to FS3034) were initially powered with Waukesha's model FL L-head (flathead) engine. Serial number FS3035 and up used IH's own engine.
The first preproduction F12 serial number FS501 was built August 17, 1932. IH started using their own engine in late June of 1933.
If I remember right, the serial number tag is fastened to the top of the hood, it will contain the serial number.
Since only about 2500 of the Waukesha powered F12s were made, they are generally desired among collectors. I don't know how hard it is to find parts for the Waukesha FL engine. Waukesha made engines for a wide variety of applications, so no doubt this same engine was used in other things. Other than the engine, the rest of the tractor is the same as any other F12, so parts are easy to find. I have a 1936 F12 that I am using for parts, it has a good narrow front pedestal but no steel wheels. If you are interested in it, let me know, I am located in the southeastern corner of Nebraska.
