I have a 37 F-12. Dad bought it in '69 for $50 to use around his woods cottage. Pulled logs, dug trenches, pulled a trailer full of us kids. Kinda went by the wayside in the late 70's when the Jubilee came along. Needed a bunch of things done, but didn't have a place to work on it. Brought it home about 5 years ago. New rings, manifold, mag rebuild, head rebuild, flushed out all the fluids, new tires in front, and later (thru the brave efforts of a parts tractor) have new rubber on the rear. Gave it a 50' paint job (looks great at 50'. Starts on the first or second quarter turn of the crank......every time. Doesn't do much work, but the kids have fun with it in the neighborhood and at the local tractor show in the summer. Dad also loves to drive it during the show.

Although no photos were taken, Dad, while crossing a mucky bottomed creek in the mid-70's, burried that tractor so deep the fan was churning water and his butt was getting wet sitting down on the seat. Took a whole day of digging and pulling, as it was the biggest thing in the area that day. It got out of the creek, splashed it with a couple buckets of water, and off to work it went !
