Great find
I have one in my shop ready to rebuild right now.
Its a 36 with kerosene equipment.
I don't understand why someone would belittle a tractor that was built for a small farmer to replace a team of horses. The F12 fulfilled the role it was designed for perfectly. It has working gears, its slow, but it wasn't designed to be driven from farm to farm or in parades or tractor rides. It stayed on a small farm and tirelessly worked a small farm to new levels of productivity that could only have been achieved by not having half its production going to feed the team of horses. If you have been around one they are very advanced compared to the other F series as IH was using it to test new technologies. Stand behind one and you will see the rear end design used for every H,M,B,C,supers,300,400,350,450, and the basis for every IH tractor after the F series. The final reduction being on board in the transmission case with adjustable axles. The transmission is a structural member not a case suspended inside a frame or tub. The engine was full pressure lubed instead of splash, a feature it shared only with the W40 series of the time. That engine lived on in the A,B,and C and on combines and power units. The F12/14 was a very important milestone for IH tractor design.

As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
