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.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. 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.
