fenton, that is a fine looking tractor and cheep at $1500 I would say. My Dad bought one at a farm sale about 1953?? not sure what year it was but always thought is was a 1951. They are a gutsy little ( BIG ) tractor. My Dad and Uncle farmed for years with a Super A and an H. They bought an F20 in 1958 to pull a Bush Hog with and used it in the field just as much as the other two. We pulled loaded hay wagons (100 bales), plowed, puled the drill pulled a 50T IHC hay baler( it had a power unit but was heavy ), mowed hay, fed hay. pulled a 100 bushel auger wagon 2 miles one way some times twice a day to the feed mill then out through the mud to hog feeders or the over head in the milk barn. Even did a lot of joy riding on it. Was only turned over onced ( no it wasn't me Dad did it ) I( can only remember Dad over hauling it twice, once was after a hired hand had closed the shutters, they were removed after that. In all from 1951 to 1969 I would guess that tractor had 15000 hrs on it, some hard some easy. It bwas sold to a man that didn't use it much, then in his estate sale a late friend of mine bought it to pull a rake. The last I knew his son still had it but the rear end finally gave up, don't remember Dad ever going it to it. Jim
