I don"t have access right now to pictures, but I do have some old brochures hidden somewhere that show all the stuff that could be mounted on Farmalls. For F-12, these included various cultivators, for different crops, a drawbar-mounted mower, two-way plows, middlebusters, and, I think, a corn planter. My father bought a new F-12 in 1938, along with a mower and cultivators. Along in the middle of F-12 production, IHC improved the mounting of these implements by designing what they called Quick-Attach mounts. These were pads that had top and bottom toggle bolts on each side of the tractor, front and back. The H and M continued with this mount (our F-12 mower fit right on the H that my father bought later). If your implement had been properly blocked up when you last used it, you could drive up to it, or back up to it, depending on what you were mounting, throw the toggle bolts over the slots in the implements, tighten with a long-handled socket wrench that came with the tractor, then drive off. Needless to say, you had to remove the drawbar first by loosening the four toggle bolts that held it on. I can't tell you how many times I mounted and unmounted the mower and the cultivators in the approximately 15 years I drove this tractor. The biggest problem usually occurred if you left the implement outdoors for a long time and it sank into the ground a bit. Then you had to do some heavy lifting to get things lined up. The mower could be attached in about 5 minutes, and the cultivators in maybe 10 because there was a front and a back part, plus the lifting rods that had to be hooked into the adjusting levers that slipped into holes on the power-lift cranks, then had to be cotter-pinned so they wouldn't come back out. Easier to see than to describe. If you are really interested, send me an e-mail and I will make an effort to dig up the brochures, scan parts of them, then e-mail you the "pictures." I seem to remember that the original Farmall and F-20/30 had a mounted corn picker, but I can't remember at the moment if this was an F-12 attachment.
