A overhaul kit is round $300, Rings are round $120. Gaskets are round $100. Manafold is round $250. another say $200 for whatever, and a couple hundred for taxes and hauling ive got round a grand in it. I had hoped I could find a running engine for alot less. Im a farmer, not a good machanic. Id like to get this 32 running, to use on the farm. Not a show tractor. I also have to replace the 4 wheels and tires, Ive had several 20s in the paast and 2 30s. I like the 30s for farm work better, also another reason why im not crazy bout putting alot of money in it. I would like to get it running and in a bit of time trade it for a late model 30 with boot of course

The following is ment constructively, there comes a time to place antiques into the antique category. I suggest that if you are intent on using the pre 1939 vintage Farmalls, that the cash layout might be far less than the investment in more contemporary equipment, but is far less productive per man hour, and horse power/hour. The expense of the equipment should be balanced with effectiveness. Putting $2000 into a Farmall 300, or 350 would provide a massive increase in ease of use and utility value. I like the old units, but economics rules production. If none of this matters, then just buy the parts and be done with it. It has been mentioned on here many times, that it is a very rare tractor that can return the amount spent to make it right from dead. JimN

I think finding a running F-20 engine will be tough. You can find running F-20's for between 500 and 1000. Can't imagine why someone would take a running engine out of one. Everything else seems to last longer than the engines. As for an overhaul kit, not sure what you saw for $300. I just went through my 38 and could find no available kits for the F-20. I spent $85 on rings, $90 on a full gasket kit, 175 for a valve job and then honed the cylinders and put her all back together. These engines are tough, real tough. They're designed to be worked on in the field. You can actually remove a piston in the field through the access holes. The sleeves are even tapered on the bottom so you don't need a ring compressor.
