A couple of you guys have asked in some of my other posts how my F-12 is coming along. I haven't got much done lately. I was working in NY from August till January.
Just this evening I got all pistons installed and spent some time cleaning up my makeshift shop here in the basement of the house. My wife sure was excited to see me take over that corner of the basement!!! This past week I purchased a 3-bolt air cleaner and radiator top. I know this wouldn't be correct for the F-12 but since it has technically been totally converted to a
F-14 and I've been trying to collect as many options for this tractor as I can find I thought it would be ok. Besides the price was just right!!!
I blasted and expoxy primered a lot of some random parts a couple weeks ago. I've made a list that I need to get ordered from Rice Equipment. Most important things would be the radiator core and pressure plate. I should be getting pretty close to haveing it running at that point. I have my carb and fuel pump tore down and in the cleaning stages so I need to be getting those back together.
A close friend of mine purchased a stuck F-12 a while back that has a full set of round spoke rims on it. We may be doing some trading. I want the rear round spokes and for what he is wanting to do with his tractor my steel wheels will work just fine. I also have a set of 40" with the cast centers that I'll probably be selling soon. I like the looks of the round spokes and don't want the weight of the cast hubs.
