F-20 Narrow Tread

[Anonymous-0]

Hi, I'm looking at pictures of an F-20 that I'm looking at possibly purchasing but wanting to confirm that it is a "Narrow Tread" tractor. The gentleman really doesn't know the difference and I'm wondering if it is obvious by looking a the rear end to know if it is a "Narrow F20". Any help or pointers is appreciated!

Thanks, Rob

If it is a factory narrow tread setup I belive there should be an "N" after the serial number. As far as looking at it, on the narrow treads, the top of the axle casting on each side of the round plate is more "square" as seen here. The two little step sort of things show that it is a narrow tread in addition to just the width of the rear end.

Nice original tires on that F-20.

If it is a narrow tread, the serial number will end with a N meaning narrow tread.

Ya I wish that was my tractor, thats just one I found using google. I do like the old tires on it though. I dont have an F-20 least not right now. But I do have an early Regular that someone flipped around.

Hope it all goes well in your requisition of that F-20.
