I'd start by talking to anyone who might know who they were sold to and where the buyers lived. Then follow up on any information from there. Keep asking around, someone will know. Also keep in mind that they may have been sold several times. Ask family members if there were any distinct markings/ modifications on these tractors that would let you make a positive ID. Post adds on this site and ATIS describing the tractors you are looking for. Include about when they were sold and where they might be, and any id markings. Attend shows in the areas that you are looking and talk to fellow collectors at those shows. Last but not least, don't give up. I spent over 3 years hunting down my grandpa's F20. I didn't have a serial number, but I knew all the little details and bruises so that when I finally found it, ID'ing it was easy. The 20 had been sold at least 3 times and was over 100 miles away when I found it. Good luck in your search.
