Looking at a Fordson F

[Texgasser1]

I am looking at maybe getting a Fordson F steel wheel tractor, About 60% restored. Owner started and lost interest. Only major thing missing is the fenders, What is the proper style for a 1923 model and where can I get a set. Original preferred repo will work though.

Good for you !
I have the rectangle doors on the fenders of 1924 F . , I think the triangle started 1926

I don’t know where to get a set of fenders . I check Craigslist , eBay , auction sites. Many years ago I saw a beautiful pair in Iowa for 175 dollars on Craigslist , I wish I would have bought them,. They almost perfect in photos.
today who knows how much they want for them ? if you find a good set ,don’t wait long ,cause it’s a sellers market ,if they know what they have .good luck .
I spent months pounding out the dents in mine. Did the best I could , painted shows well .

There is a man in OK has a Fordson F for sale, It is not much to look at, But he has a great set of fenders to go with it. Might buy it as a parts tractor.
