[Farmall] F20 questions

[Scott M]

John,

It's worth what one is willing to pay. But I just did purchase one that was
painted (not restored) just painted about 15 years ago. It runs but not
smoothly ( I expect to get into the mag next ), but at any rate I paid
$1,000.00 for it. It too is complete with trash rubber on the front (the
tires hold air but that's about it), The rear tires were brand new. All in
all, the tractor is good. I don't worry at all about the paint. If it seems
basically sound, without any apparent major problems, I'll look. Seals and
gaskets almost always need replaced. 

The clutch may free up fairly easily (of course I have not seen it).
Hope this helps.

Scott M

Hi guys! I'm new here, but I've been on the engine & antique tractor lists
for years. I have an 
Allis WD, but I've always liked the look of the unstyled Farmalls too. So
tonight on my way home 
from work, I see an F20 for sale on the side of the road. It's mostly rust,
but you can still see 
the decals. Decent rubber on the rear, but is missing one of the front
wheels. Seems to be complete. 
The owner says it runs good, uses some oil, but the clutch is stuck (not in
gear). He's asking 
$1200. Seems a bit steep to me, but I didn't want to insult him by offering
less till I got an 
informed opinion. I can't really afford more then $800 anyway. I know it's
hard to put a value on 
something sight unseen, but what's the ballpark for this model, unrestored?
I already asked on the 
tractor list, then I remembered about this Farmall list, so I apologize for
the double post.
Thanks,
John Cullom
