Wanting to restore
I'm starting the hunt for a tractor that I will restore. I'm going to stick with the Farmall brand for this one. I'm leaning toward maybe a F14-20. Are parts for these "somewhat" available? IF I don't get a F14 or similar I'll probably go w/a Super M. I know the obvious answer would be a Cub, right? . But I'm looking to do a bigger tractor. Just thought I'd check here to see what you guys think because I know there is a ton of Farmall knowledge on this forum.

Re: Wanting to restore
Super A or a Super C are nice bigger but not huge, in my area there are quite a few M s and H s as wwell they are fairly common.

Re: Wanting to restore
If you do decide on an H post it, or PM me, and I'll see if dad's old H is still available. This is a two owner H. The owner told me last fall it could be bought but I don't think he was advertising it. I would love to see it restored. It had been inside while dad had it and I think since. The last I knew the metal was decent but I haven't seen the tractor for a while. This one has M&W sleeves and pistons and when the current owner said it had more power than his other H's I explained why. It is a 1939. Vern

Re: Wanting to restore
Parts are not hard to find. Even for the F series tractors. An F-12 or 14 would be a nice size tractor to restore. The F-20's are a bit bigger and the wide models can be a bit unweildy to trailer around. I have an F 14 (Thanks Roger G.) which I have trailered to local shows with no problems. Parts have always been readily available.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Re: Wanting to restore
Thanks guys. That gives me something to go on. Last thing I wanted to do is get a tractor that parts are either hard to find or threw the roof in cost. Of course I realize that every brand has it's hard to find parts but that just life.
V W, I'm going to save your name and if I decide to go with a H I'll get with you. Sounds like something I would want in a project as I do not want a tractor that is full of holes and banged all to pieces.

Re: Wanting to restore
Being partial to unstyled tractors, I like the F series over the newer styled tractors. I restored my '29 Regular a few years ago. Parts are easy to find relatively inexpensive.
Here is a picture of my '29 with #1668 DX gasoline manifold taken when the restoration was nearly complete.

Man that is sharp! Nice job! And yes, I have looked at a couple of those also. But I am kinda torn between a F model or something like a M or H. One minute I want one tractor and next I want something diiferent. And one minute I tell myself I will work the restored tractor on the farm and the next minute I tell myself not to. I'm sure I'm the only one that has had this problem! .

Bring her with you today and Rosie will set her straight for you.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Just a little movement of Cub goodies and who knows what.

I didn't get to read this post before I headed your way Barnyard or I would've brought her along for Mrs. Rosie to work on! . Funny thing is when I go to a cattle sale she'll stay home IF I don't take the stock trailer. BUT if that stock trailer leaves with me so does she! . All in all a great women tho. She actually drives the 2N with hay wagon back and forth from field to barn and helps stack!! So I can't really complain! . In all seriousness I'll keep every one posted as to what tractor I do decide to go with. I'm gonna actually take my time on this and study it real good and make sure I find the one I want.So this is gonna take a little while...............I think.
