I forgot a story that seems funny now, but I doubt if it was way back when it happened (about 65 years ago, and the memory of it is as clear as if it happened yesterday). Whenever I was not in school, I would take the F-12 and the manure spreader to the fields. One snowy day, I was going full-blast in third gear (4 MPH!!!!) and dropped the two front wheels in a big hole left by a washed-out underdrain. That front-wheel setup is attached to a cast post that is bolted to the vertical steering shaft. The hole was as deep as the wheels were high. CRACK! The post broke and left both wheels in the hole. The front of the tractor hit the ground running and just dug in, after scouring the ground for three or four feet. I walked back about a half-mile to the barn and announced that I had broken off the front wheels. My father didn't say a word (imagine that!). He got a new post the next day, and when I came home from school, the tractor was up and running. We had a 10-20 on steel that COULD be used with the spreader, but I can tell you that the ride on frozen ground was ATROCIOUS, so we avoided the old beast for the most part.
