    F-12 brake assembly

    Yep, I didn't look close enough.

    F-12 brake assembly

    I hate to tell you this but, you are missing more than that. It appears the top of the bearing cage has been broken out. There is supposed to be a round shaft out of the side of the transmission housing with a flat paddle on it that fits in between the top of the brake shoes. When that paddle is...

    F-4 Mag timing.....

    Let's see if I can answer your question. I'm only going to address the timing for an F-4. First, make sure you're on #1 TDC. Next rotate the mag shaft until the pointer on the distributor plate is pointing to the #1 plug (should be about 1:00 o'clock). This can be done by laying the mag on its...

    F12 engine mounting bolts

    I'm in the process of restoring a 1934 F-12 and just today removed the engine mounting bolts. The front ones are 1 1/2" and the rears are 2" long. And yes they are square head.

    Farmall F12 Oil Filter

    It's amazing! I just acquired a 1934 F-12 to restore/rehab and I also found a metal filter. I, too, will change it out for a paper one.

    F-12 Transmission ???????

    Well, at this point I guess I'll let it sit until next summer and then drain the water out. And yes it does sit outside under a car cover year round. I like the idea of the flat washers under the bolt heads. And I'm going to try and seal any/all bolts that penetrate the transmission housing. I...

    F-12 Transmission ???????

    Respectfully sir, I don't necessarily agree with you. I didn't get any water out of the transmission when I drained it originally. I understand your way of thinking but, there is no "vent", per se, in the transmission cover. You have to remember this unit has sat for numbers of years without...

    F-12 Transmission ???????

    I restored, excuse me, rehabbed this tractor in 2006. It's an F-12 with a #90 plow. I had sandblasted all parts, new seals, bearings throughout, block decked, head redone, crank reground, new gaskets, new tires, paint, decals, etc. I installed all new fluids, filters also. When I drained the...

    What made you choose the tractor you have?

    I've got two F-12's and two F-14's. My reasoning is one of my F-12's has a hand lift cultivator that is exactly like the one I spent many, many hours using. My Dad and Grandad each had an F-12 that they purchased after the mules refused to get up one morning. One of my F-14's has a 7' sickle bar...

    Ran when parked....maybe

    Let's try to set the record straight here. It appears to be a 1938 F-12. Reason is the valve cover has three studs through the top (first photo). The brake handles on the F-12 were originally short and have had pipe extensions added (first and second photo). It is a dual fueled tractor meaning...

    F-4 Mag ?'s, no spark

    Well, I just this afternoon worked on my "spare" mag and found no fire. I checked the points, .013 good, coil good, condenser good, what I found was a whole bunch of rust built up at the bottom inside of the magnet and the metal housing. I used a Dremel with a wire brush and cleaned that area...

    F-4 Mag ?'s, no spark

    To answer your question, I think the biggest problem is the points or condenser. I agree with Janicholson about the timing but if the mag has not been disassembled it should not be a problem. I just went through three of my tractors F4 mags and found two of them with incorrect point gap and the...

    How many different starters for '58 350U Gas?

    I had a similar problem on one of my F14's. Mine would do the same thing. I had the starter rebuilt with a different pinion. Found that the pinion was longer and jamming into the flywheel. With the starter on the bench, I measured the distance from the starter mounting flange to the pinion end...

    D 14 split/update

    I opened up the power commander side plate and found another "ton" of metal in the bottom. From what I can see it looks like the clutch plates in the power commander are eating themselves up. I did not find any metal in the hydraulic pump sump. When I split it previously, I did not notice any...
