Jimmy,
Love the 15-30 with shoes on...looks great.

So does "wanting a collection of gray F series, mean that the F20 will get painted? (If you have to, you have to... but it sure looks nice in rust.) Love the decal remnant on the oil filter, it looks really cool. Took us an outstate trip to find one like that for our Regular.

What are the metal prongs for? Kind of reminds me of a round bale mover or something.

15-30 was my Dad's first tractor. He might have had a hard time not saying "Whoa" and "Giddup", as he had driven mules and horses so much before he bought the tractor. It was on steel wheels and he drove it 7 miles from town out to the farm.

Jimmy,
I"d tell you that you should have taken as many photos as possible... but be careful. It becomes an addiction, and then you cannot stop. Have to take photos of everything and get lost in junkyards for hours and hours. Have fun.

You don't see many of those manifolds anymore. Most of them cracked and rusted through years ago.

Jimmy,
Gee, I think you got a great deal on your skeletons! I think even with shipping cost that is a really reasonable price.

We paid $200 for our F20 factory original flat spoke steel wheels with normal lugs... picked them up ourselves because they were nearby. But they one had a small crack that my husband had to weld. Plus, the lugs were not a totally matched set, so my husband changed out all the lugs from his old cut-off steel wheels.
