The original subject was "Unrestored F12s: How common, how much?".

I have a F12 with steel wheels. Was partly restored, with new radiator and there are other new parts in the garage. It has been under a shed for years and years. I live in Pensacola, FL

I can"t help you with the price but your message got me thinking. I have a neighbor to my Grandpa"s farm that was still part time farming 60 acres with 2 F-12"s and a McCormick pull type combine in the late 1990"s. Both had steel wheels and neither were restored. They had seen yearly use and got needed repairs for over 60 years. Can you imagine farming full tillage grain without any spray in 1999 with a 12hp tractor? All his implements are about 6" wide and are from the 30"s to 50"s, no hydraulic cylinders on anything, no 3 pt. lift! Probably still has them, the other interesting thing is that when he quit he flat out gave all the land but the house and 1 acre to a young part time farmer that he had befriended.
He planted soybeans only for about the last 15 years because he couldn"t sell ear corn, and his 1950"s picker wore out. The beans weren"t exactly a bumper crop, beans on beans for 15 years with no sprayer and seed he had saved from year to year for 15 years. Hauled them all to the elevator in the bed of his F-150, then the guys there would help him shovel them out the back.
