Just got back from East Pallistine, OH. Went to an estate farm auction. Couldn't pass up the F-14. Will post some pics tomorrow, but it is real close to correct, all there, and is loose. Impulse isn't working, but that is a relatively simple fix. I now have completed the F series as far as "getting" them. Now I need to focus on fixing and restoring what I have. Cost me $650, steel rears and cast rubber fronts. Dual fuel manifold is on it, and only has a small crack at the bottom of the exhaust side. Will probably have it brazed. The front and rear cultivators (complete and in good- fair+ condition) went for $60, but I didn't buy them. I already have a set and spent my "play" money on the tractor. No other IH items there.
Met an older gentleman at the auction who said he worked as a hired hand on the farm in the 50's. He said the F-14 was used to cultivate and haul wagons out of the fields. He said the wife of the farmer used to get 3-4 neighbor kids and pay them $1 a day to pick rocks. She drove the F-14 with a wagon on it, and the kids followed behind picking rocks before they planted. Neat story. nice guy.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
