Hello, I am trying to identify the model of a farmall tractor that was taken of my Grandfather on his farm in Southern Wisconsin. On the back of the picture it was date 1933. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks John. The Cat is a D6B 44a that was converted by Clewiston Motor Company and made for US Sugar Corp in Clewiston,FL. There were about 100 - 150 made starting in the 1950's with D6 9U's and ending around 1964 with the 24V start D6B's. They were used in sugar cane operations. Ringling Brothers circus had also ordered one from them to use in unloading railcars and moving circus wagons. I grew up in Baraboo, WI were Circus World Museum is located and displays the old Ringling wheeled D6 in their musuem. Always thought it was a rare and neat machine. Couple years ago one came up for sale on ebay and I got it. Here are some links to previous discussions. Would like to find out more about the one your uncle sold.

Ive told you pretty much all I know about it. I remember it running, and moving, but I really dont remember what he did with it then except he used it at a local orchard planting apple trees in the mid 80s. I was in high school then, and it was sold to a guy in Kentucky shortly after he finished with it at the orchard. I remeber loading it on the flat bed and then taking off the tires and watching it go out of site. Seems he had soemthing big behind, but I really dont remember what. There was a big field behind his house so he may have used it to plow that up, I really dont know. He tended to go big on everything, at least for our area. I remember his 1030 Case Comfort King more than anything. There was oly 2 people he could get to drive, me and another gentleman. Me as a young teenager loved the feeling of power and controlling it, and the other guy would only get on it with a 123 pack in each toolbox on the fenders.It was so hot in the summer with that big fan blowing that 200 degree heat from the engine back at me.

It has to be a 1932 Farmall F-20 assuming the date on the back of the photo is correct. IHC did not produce any F-20s in 1933, so it has to be a 1932. The color would be gray as IH did not start to paint tractors red until November of 1936. This was the start of the 1937 model year. It is definitely an F-20 because of the rear countershaft housing has the two steps on top, and the rear hubs are not F-30. Nice picture of your family's F-20!

Lol guys.. I didn't mean to start a fight. Thanks for the information. No the tractor is not in the family anymore. Just a nice picture I have of Grandpa and wondered what model it was. While Im here would that tractor have been red or grey. I never know what tractors or years they were grey. Thanks Matt.

That F-20's color should be gray. Like Wayne said, they were gray until sometime in 1937.

Model F-20 1932 or 1933 The early f-20's are called duck bills do to the shape of the casting at the steering gears. They are rare today. Do you still have it in the family?

"They are called duck bills due to the shape of the casting at the steering gears." You can"t see the steering gears in this photo so how do you know?

55 50;
I have a friend that had one serial # 1050 ? or so, we redone. I looked at the back side of it alot. There are three styles of front assy. for f-20's. This type is the early only made in 1932 and 1933. The other two styles have a finial atop the front casting easy to spot from the rear veiw like this. If you look the the web site photo it's easier to see it. There is foot stops cast into to rear housing, top exhaust, so its not a Regular Farmall. Wrong hubs and axles to be a f-30. You can make out the f-20 decal on the gas tank.

I'd say he has identified the tractor by several other features and knows that it is a duck bill..now that wasn't so hard was it?
