Hello KW,

I'm also from Central Illinois. Several years ago I wanted to have an F-20 like we had on the farm when I was a kid. I ended up buying three of them to get one.

The tractor in the center of this picture is the one I've kept. It has electric start. The width of the tractor with 28" rubber was around 100" and really hard to haul.

The tractor on the right is a '36 Narrow Tread. Electric start, lights, generator, Pto extension. I put new tires all around and replace the rear rims. I took the fenders off of this tractor and put on the one I kept. Sold it at the Farm Progress Show in '03 for $3,500 and had $4,000 in it!

The tractor on the left is a '37. I took the tires and wheels off and traded with the '37 in the center that I've kept. Sold it about a year ago for $1,200 and had about $1,700 in it!

Just a side note. I do not have the talent to work on these tractors, so my costs are higher since I must pay someone else to make repairs, etc.
