I have a 37 F-12. Dad bought it from a guy in NE Michigan in 1969 for $50 to help move some trees to build a cabin in the woods. Used that tractor a lot. Then about 10 years later, along came a Ford 8N, and the F-12 didn't do much afterwards. I got interested in old iron about then and adopted the tractor. Did what maintenance I could, but things were going down hill over time, and when the fan belt finally broke, I decided if some work wasn't done to it soon, it would swiftly die.
Decided to bring it back to Holland and did some badly needed work to the engine & other peripherials. It had steel on the back and dual rubber up front at the time. Did a 50' restoration about 8 years ago on it. Found a parts tractor with good 36" rubber rims on it and have since bought all new rubber for the tractor.
I live in a neighborhood of ranch style houses, thus it doesn't have much of a chance for any farm work. The kids, and my dad, enjoy driving it around the neighborhood though.
Have had a couple F-20's come and go, and currently have a W-30 as a partner to the F-12.
Ugly things, they are, but something only an old-iron person could only love.
