You can expect to spend anywhere from $500 - $1500 on wheels and rubber, depending upon new or used.

Rad cores (new) $300. Manifold used $75-$150.

My conservative estimate, and this is really conservative, and also how close you are to used parts.

This is mimally going to be a $3000 adventure. By the time you buy plugs, wires, gaskets, tires/rims, rad, manifold, etc. etc. then paint, decals, oil, grease, you get the idea.

There are probably more F-20's out there than any other F series tractor, so if you really want an F-20, you might do better with one a little less "around the corner" than this one. If this one has meaning to you (ie. family relation), then it is worth every dime. If you just want to bring it back, then you have to be the one to determine if it is worth it to you. You can't put a price tag on theraputical old iron restoration time, nor the pride when you are done and can say, "you did it". restoring an old tractor is NEVER an economic investment, you will never get your money or time out of it. It is a labor of love, and how deep your pockets are.

You are the one who needs to decide................
