Dear Board,
A friend of mine has two beautifully restored F-20 tractors. They have new tires, new pistons,transmission overhauls,new radiator cores,and beautiful paint jobs.

Much to my surprise and the chagrin of my friend the tractor idled as smoothly as a bathtub.

F-20 experts and owners please enlighten me.
