f-12 cultivators

Todd Heck · Aug 13, 2011

I just bought a f-12 with a a full set of front and rear cultivators on in . I am not sure if i want to fix it up or part it out. I only paid 300.00 for it but would hate to see it go to scrap. I know the motor is stuck and not sure about the rear end.It has rear finders but has been sitting a long time. any thoughts on what I should do?

Fix IT

looks like its been sitting there awhile! But I would say you could save the cultivators the way it looks. Once you finish logging and get the tractor out you can better decide if it is restoreable or parts donor. For your investment you got a set of cultivators , and at worst 300 dollars worth of scrap so you did ok. At best you did much better.

Todd,
I sent you an email,thanks for posting.Ralph

I went today and tried to pull it out. All the trees are gone but still cannot move it. The clutch is free and I am able to move the gear shift all around. Is it possible the axle is locked up? I also checked my records and it was bought for only 150.00. the other money went to a planter. I want to thank you all for your help and input.

Brakes are stuck.Common problem.

Tom Fleming · Aug 14, 2011

Yup, cover is off the left side brakes. If you decide to part out, let me know, there are a couple of parts on there I may want.

Todd Heck · Aug 14, 2011

Is there a way to free the brakes? All the trees are been removed and nothing is sitting against it.

Tom Fleming · Aug 14, 2011

well, yes. Remove the drums. They have an locking washer on them with 1 side bent over against the nut. Flatten that out with a chisel and a punch. With the tractor in gear, then turn the nuts off. if the drums are rusted to the shoes badly, you may have to beat on the drums a bit to break them loose.

What parts are you thinking about. I can get better photos if you wish. Just now hope to fee the brakes up

If you are parting out I would buy the fenders depending on condition.

Tom Fleming · Aug 14, 2011

Fenders, fuel lines and fittings for starters. Need to see what more is on there. Of course, need to know the condition of the fenders. But definately all the fuel components (tank excluded).

Todd Heck · Aug 14, 2011

ok will take more pic of those items this week. I looked in the tank and it looks almost new inside. Also is the hand crank extension part of the cultivator kit or than an extra.

Tom Fleming · Aug 14, 2011

Well, the extention really should go with the cultivators.

Nice save! I hope you will keep it together and restore it.

Tom Fleming · Aug 14, 2011

Todd, WIN231 can have the fenders if he wants them, since he posted first. The gas lines(all lines if they are in decent shape), tank valves, sediment bowl, breather on the hood, and possibly fuel pump and carb are things I would be very interested in. I doubt very much that the manifold is any good, but who knows.

Where are you located BTW?

Todd Heck · Aug 14, 2011

I am in toledo ohio, tractor is just over the line in MI. I will look at the fuel lines in the next day or so and send you photos if you send me your email.

Thanks

Todd
