I have a Farmall F12 that has been in the family since 1954. Through the years some things have been changed on the tractor and I would like to find out what the original equipment had on it. I have begun to restore and have a few questions. 1. What size should the front and rear tires be? Where can I get 'original type' tires and tubes. I understand it is a good idea to paint the inside of the wheels with an epoxy oaint to keep the rust from rubbing through the tubes, Correct? 2. What is the point gap supposed to be in the mag? 3. The paint on the tractor is pretty raggity and I would like to strip it, sand it and respray the entire tractor. There is a lot of rust pitting. What is the best way to repair the pitting before painting? I understand the wheels should be painted silver. Is Rustoleum aluminum paint acceptible or is there an 'authorized' silver paint available. Not sure if I will be showing this tractor for prizes or just for fun but just in case I would like to have it correct. Any info greatly appeciated.
