I was visiting Charlie Burgh's today to pick up some needed parts. While browsing through the F-20 "back 40", I stumbled onto this one. Serial # FA94242 , which I estimate to be late 1937. I took pics of the decal placement on the gas tank. these are original to the best of my ability to judge. Any ideas about what the decal was on the right side of the tank filler?

All references to wich side is based upon sitting on the tractor from the driver's seat:

Left side:

Rear:

Right Side:

The rest are simple. The right side is standard: F-20 on top, FARMALL on the bottom. Rear is also standard. Left side though, I am clueless as to what the 3rd decal is, and appears to have forced the placement of the F-20 decal to the front of the filler.

thoughts/feedback welcome.
 
Tom, that decal is for the variable speed governor. I found an exact picture in the Collector's Originality Guide for the Regular and F Series by Oscar Will and Todd Markle. The picture is on page 76.
 
Thanks Germ. I'll look it up. Kinda threw me for a loop when I saw it, which is why I took the pics.

I wonder if anyone is making that decal, and what years it should be applied to. Hopefully the book will cover that.

Could someone enlighten me about Charlie Burghs? I have a small collection of F tractors and would really appreciate any info about F tractor bone yards. Thanks,Ray

shouldnt the one to the upper right on the rear of the tank be the small gold decal with all the patents on it??
