He might have had a hard time not saying "Whoa" and "Giddup", as he had driven mules and horses so much before he bought the tractor. It was on steel wheels and he drove it 7 miles from town out to the farm. [Reply]  [No Email]

So does "wanting a collection of gray F series, mean that the F20 will get painted? :( (If you have to, you have to... but it sure looks nice in rust.) Love the decal remnant on the oil filter, it looks really cool. Took us an outstate trip to find one like that for our Regular. What are the metal prongs for? Kind of reminds me of a round bale mover or something. SweetFeet [Reply]  [No Email]

It becomes an addiction, and then you cannot stop. Have to take photos of everything and get lost in junkyards for hours and hours. Have fun. [Reply]  [No Email]

I think even with shipping cost that is a really reasonable price. We paid $200 for our F20 factory original flat spoke steel wheels with normal lugs... picked them up ourselves because they were nearby. But they one had a small crack that my husband had to weld. Plus, the lugs were not a totally matched set, so my husband changed out all the lugs from his old cut-off steel wheels. [Reply]  [No Email]
