The Start of the Project


We picked up my Grandpa's 1936 Farmall F-20 yesterday in Eastern Iowa. Its currently sitting comfortably in the garage (the cars can weather the winter outside!) waiting for some TLC.


The F-20 is s/n #68060. During 1936, IH built #32,716 to #68,749, which means this was a VERY late 1936. Overall theere were 148,960 F Series tractors built.


Over the next 18 months I plan on tearing it down, and rebuilding it to its original condition. Mechanical, paint, and some elbow grease awaits! With the help of the internet, friends and family I should be in for a fun restoration!
