F80 Mystery Solved!!!!!

Posted by Bobduck on February 12, 2001 at 19:07:11 from (209.206.224.67):

I’ve spend several hours in my library but I think I’ve finally figured out the “F80”.

In the book “Tractors Nobody Ever Bought”, by some guy NOT named Fay, chapter 4,
page 127, paragraph 8 I found some information on what is probably the tractor in
question..

I believe what the gentleman saw was not an F80 but rather a very rare model of the
Farmall “0-8 “

This tractor was rated 8 belt horsepower and 0 drawbar horsepower.

While these tractors were quite adequate for a number of belt applications the cost of
owning a second tractor to move them from job to job made them a little inconvenient
since they could not move under their own power.

Their sales dropped to zero when farmers realized they could have them same thing by buying a stationary engine and putting it on wheels.
