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.
