Out at the farm I found a book. I knew my grandfather had owned a Farmall H and (of course) the Farmall M which we still use. It turns out that from sometime in 1934 or 1935 he had a Farmall F12, which continued in use until its replacement on 12 February 1941. He kept detailed figures on its fuel and oil use as well as running costs. Copy of page attached and also an Excel version. For those who are not familiar with the old way of counting money there are 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. Which gives 240 pence to the pound. Therefore 12 pounds, 9 shillings, tuppence-halfpenny reads as £12:9s:2½d.
It cost an average of 12.665 pence per hour in fuel and oil to run an F12.
It cost an average of 2.892 pence per hour in repairs.
It cost an average of 15.557 pence (1s:3½d) per hour to operate the tractor.
