I have always wondered if the tractors held back at the factory received a new serial number tag.
What is the part number for a F-14 head and where exactly would it be located?
I know you see a lot of F-12s that seem to have more of a poor man's conversion. Steering is raised and maybe the seat post has a pipe welded to it to make it higher. Same goes for the brake levers and that seems to be all that has changed.
On my tractor all those things seem to be factory parts. Nothing seems to be welded or put together with everyday scrap pieces. Plus it has the breather on the valve cover.
Did the F-14 receive a different governor or was it just adjusted to run at higher RPMs?
Did they use the same engine block? I'm curious about this because the block on the F-12 that I already appears to not be cracked externally. It at least has no welds. The block on the F-14 I'm buying has been cracked and welded in a couple spots. I hope I do have a F-14 block on my F-12 then I at least have two to choose from when I get this project started.
My F-12 was a kerosene tractor with the dual tank. The F-14 was a straight gasoline tractor. Both tractors fuel tanks are in good shape. As far as having something that's more rare would I be better off using the duel tank with the extra fuel lines and valve or go with the straight gasoline tank and build the tractor using it. Neither manifold is usable so I'll be searching for a new or good used manifold.

Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market. Since this can be extremely difficult, you may want to fabricate the item or purchase a modern replacement temporarily, but eventually, you s
