Farmall F-20 Project Tractor

Here is a link to my YouTube videos. The last 6-7or so, have to deal with the Farmall F-20 I was given last August. Things have slowed down on it - since I don't have a heated shop - but I've managed to get a few things done on it throughout the winter.
It started out as a "rolling chassis" when I got it.

It's been torn down since then, and I have a lot of parts ready to go on when it warms up.

I'm doing it on a SHORT shoestring budget, so it won't be PERFECT when I'm done, but functional.

OK- what style are you looking for? The early "Round Spoke" are out there - just harder to find because everyone wants them for their tractor.

The later "Cut Down" style - factory steel rims that have been cut down and welded to a rubber tire rim. These are bt FAR the most common. Guys got rid of the steel rims when rubber tires became more available. It's the ones you'll see the most often, and are easiest to find.

There are a couple other styles, but they are harder to find. Here is one from a "late" F-20:

None of these photos are mine, they just popped up on a quick search.

I should note that - even though they say "for sale" they are "Archived Photo Ads, and probably long gone....
