AndrewZ mentioned a lot, but left out what I consider a huge thing if you have ever driven a 12. The brake levers were raised!!!! They can be a handful in hill country with that steering wheel so low and the hand levers even lower and hard to get at both at the same time. I have pulled a 2-14 plow with my 35 F-12. It did ok but was a little light in the rear end. I also added a large 3 ft dia block of wood to the drawbar and pulled a 3 ft dia 12 ft long ash log up a steep hill of about 18 percent grade and steeper than that in places. It would just spin the tires without the wieght but with the weight she barked all the way to the top with no problems except my ears ringing. I also put it on a dyno one and did a kerosene to gasoline comparison test. It made 13.5 HP on both fuels, but I did lean the carb out when running on kero. All in all, I have been very happy with mine and I do use it quite a bit! Poor girl hasn"t been to a show for several years now because she had to work!

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
