I would like the openion of the folks on here. I am restoring a 1939 f-20. I bought two f-20s for parts and one of them has a factory cover over were the shaft for the belt puly comes out of the trator's trasmission. I will be using the tractors pto from time to time to pull a small pull type mower and I was thinking of removing the belt pully from the one that I am restoring and placing the cove from the other tractor on it.I will keep the belt pully so that i could always put it back on if needed,I am on the fence and I am not sure what to do. I would like to show the tractor as well. what do you guys think? is it going to get me laughed out of the show if I show up without a belt pully on the f-20? I know is a dagerous thing to ask people for their opinions. But I am. thanks for your advise.

Too, it is less likely to have an oil leak. Most pullys leak and on a show tractor it is obvious when there is a leak. It is easy to take off and put back on. I'm plannig to do the same with "Ducky".

Sounds like for what you want it might be a good idea to remove as the pulley does run whenever the PTO is engaged.

My F-20 has a factory No. 7 Middlebuster, and has the block-off plate installed. After restoring the tractor and plow, I see that I can not have the belt drive in place with the plow on. I'm sure there are other implements that require this. I have a 1929 Regular and another 1936 F-20 with the belt pulley drives installed, so I have both.

Curious as to why you want to remove the belt pulley?

I don't think anyone would give you a hard time for not having one. We have remains of an F-20 here on the place that the pulley had been removed, so it's not like they all had one back in their "working days"....but if it's there, why not leave it?

My brother kids like to ride on tractors with me and I am concearned about someone engaging the belt pully. the belt pully is pretty clost to the axel housing and little legs go places they should not, if you know what I mean. I would never haul a child on a tractor while an implement was in use. But my family tends to use my things while I am not there. so I am just strying to make the tractor as safe as I can.

Good point. I thought about the fact that that pully runs whenever the PTO's engaged, so not having it there would be one less potential hazard. These things weren't exactly designed with operator safety in mind anyway(the thought's often run through my mind of what might happen if the seat pivot bolt breaks!). And, as pointed out above too- no pulley=one less oil leak!

I don't have to worry about anyone else in my family using my F-20 when I'm not around, since nobody around here except my grandad even knows how to start the thing!

I used to think I was safe when I bought a 1939 b that was crank start only, boy was I surprized one day when I came home and found my uncle pulling a wagon with it. I asked him how he got it started becasue he will not crank start a tractor. He told me that he pull started it with his 504. When I aked him why he did not just use his 504 he said he felt like using the b. to this day I do not know how he pull started that tractor by himself. My cub is new enough it has a key so he leaves that one alone.

I would remove, or block the lever/rod going to the pully. This would eliminate your issues while providing for the use of the tractor with no serious effort.
