Lee,

Parts for the F12 are still available and advice is free on this site. There are several folks who have restored an F12 or F14 and are quite willing to help someone else. These machines are straightforward and forgiving, and will give you many hours of fun learning how to fix them.

This forum is a good one to ask questions on. Some F12 owners also hang out on the Farmall forum. Try both. Keep my email addr handy - I'll help you too.

You can see mine (and some others) on my website.

If we were neighbors, I'd trade the mechanic'n for a little paint and body work on my tractors. Can turn a wrench pretty good, but paint and body work is a whole 'nother story.

Mostly the older tractors are low tech, and pretty simple. My advice is use a camera and make photos when you are taking something apart, and use them for reference. That doesn't always work, because I have seen things I took apart that were previously assembled wrong, but generally it's good for records. Another thing I would suggest is to take your time and expect to break bolts etc... Invest in some reverse drill bits, and some good penetrating lube. Also go by TSC and buy about 4 pounds of each size of bolts from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch and have them on hand. I always tyr to replace older bolts even though they look a little out of place on an old machine, they will save you a stripped hole or worse, broken off bolts in that hole.:)
