Farmall F-20
Saga Of My Ongoing Search For a Tractor
Purchased from Ollie in Hamilton Tx, September 1998
This tractor has a generator mounted
on the right rear frame rail so it could be driven by a belt from the
exposed shaft between the clutch and the transmission. It was owned by
a man who did carpentry work all day, and only farmed at night
10/11/98 When we attempted to load
the F-20 on Tanya my trailer yesterday, it became apparent that the
wheels were too wide to fit between the side rails. Though I was
prepared with tools and a jack, the wheel spacing on the F-20 is not
adjustable. I think I'm just going to have to get up the nerve to haul
it with one wheel sitting up on top of the rail.
Assessment:
Very worn rear rubber tires on cutoffs
Missing steering wheel
Missing starting crank
2/25/99 The F-20 finally arrives home. I'm really hoping this
one is in a better shape than the F-12 because I would like to try to
get it started without having to tear it all apart.
