Farmall F-12

did you people see what the guy did with his Farmall F-12 repowered in the Farm Show paper by putting a Subaru engine in his tractor, in my opinion his tractor is worthless now, am i right or wrong in saying this.

i dont think its worthless, you'd need to know the history, could be the tractor was headed for the scrapper and that was a motor that was available. i have been negotiating on an f-30 the neighbor has thats been sinking in the pasture for years. has a 6 cylinder i-h truck motor in it. motor is junk. i have a 1969 v-6 gm marine engine sitting in the barn, if i can get the tractor, that my wind up in there if i dont find the correct motor for it.

I am afraid the F-12 was worthless the day it left the factory.

I had a f30 with a 6 cyl chevy and 4spd in it.It could get scary but worked well if you behaved. Later Hoss

Maybe they wer'nt a JD 4040, but in it's day was better than a mule with a headache. At least if you were lucky and didn't break yer arm starting it,you could pull stumps,and work land,If you had the mussel to stear it.

I would assume that's why around 120,000 of them were manufactured and sold? :roll: And of course a worthless tractor is certainly worth being restored and sold, right :?:
