TO ALL "REGULAR" & "F" series VETERAN RESTORERS, My name is Jack Nabors and I am a parts-man at a large SE Tx. CASE-IH dealership. We are in the process of building a large new location and the qwner would like to display an old F-20 from his family's early days in the new showroom. But,as you well know OEM parts availabilty is non-existent,that is the problem I will need your help with,I am somewhat of an antique tractor buff myself having grown up on a ranch that solely used antique iron for economic reasons as well as the reliability factor(AC WC,WD,WD-45,D-17's,FARMALL H,300,400,656,1456,&JD MT,720,&4020's),but to date college and career limit my time so I have yet to do anything other than "patch" and update some of the old stuff to keep it running,as I am forced to put off any major restorations till later. Back to my current problem, It has fallen to me to be the GOTO MAN on this F-20 project(undertaken by our local high school AG-MECHANICS) for parts location and procurement. So any and all help WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. As always I am obligated to keep costs as low as possible so good used parts will be utilized whenever possible as well as REPRO. parts. Of course due to my duties and resposibility to our customers the fewer number of places(and time spent tracking down parts)for avilability will BE COMPLETELY APPRECIATED on my part. So I will hope that there are those people and business's out there that specialize in these old tractors and would appreciate anyone turning me on to them. Thank You in ADVANCE for your time and responses - JACK NABORS @ HLAVINKA EQUIP.Co. EAST BERNARD,TX e-mail naborsj@cfaith.com [or work phone# 800-460-7528]

Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market.
