Love the ending👍😊, good trash coverage maybe try a wire method for better coverage if it would work but still good coverage for that tall of plow down.
My first tractor was a F12, gave $50 for it. I put a saw rig on the front to cut slab wood. I had to start it with the side pulley since I couldn’t use the crank because the saw rig was in the way. Cut many Rick of slabs with it. In the winter I didn’t use antifreeze, I would drain the water, from the tractor, into a 5 gallon gas can and bury the can in the sawdust pile, it never did freeze.
You plough with the crank handle attached to the front? Seems weird? Great piece of machinery - like all farm implements. There is just something special about them. Especially the smell.
My two F-12's have removable cranks in the front. I started going to the gym to make me stronger to start these pain in the asses. No joke!
missing RADIATOR BLIND that rolls up, pretty sure the engine was RED when new.
Beautiful antique! Uncle had F12 on small dairy farm. I got yelled at for boiling it over raking hay in 1950s. Got thousands of hours of F12 time spreading manure across the snow...
My dad had a similar set-up with his F14 Farmall.
Amo os pequenos tratadores vermelhos. Principalmente o Massey Ferguson 50.
I'm sorry to tell you this but I'm fairly sure that's a F-14.
It is positively an F12. The serial number tag confirms it and the serial number dates it to 1934. I suspect you believe it is an F14 due to the steering angle and seat height. These are both user modifications I retained when rebuilding it since I actually use it and is much more comfortable to drive . Doesn't sound like you watched the video, this is explained in the text during the video.
@@joelswanson I admit I didn't watch it all the way through. But as a 34 Why did you paint it red?
@@epsilonendary I guess because I like farmall red. : ) This was not intended to be a back to factory original restoration. Note the engine is black and the wheels have red spokes with black rims. Just some personal style choices I made.
Dad had 3 an F12,F14, and a F20 and our starting procedure was clear from the owners manual on all 3 never crank the engine all the way around completing the fireing order as it may kick back and injury may result always utilize the half crank method to prevent injury. I tried the through cranking and nearly dislocated my shoulder.
Yup, been there, done that. I should have listened to my grandfather. He had an F12, don't know which year. Used the PTO on the right side near the brake with a flywheel and a long leather drive belt for cutting cord wood in the fall. Nothing else sounds like a Farmall. Very identifiable sound to those engines.
My great grandfather had an F12. I have a picture of him, my grandfather and my dad on it in 1946. So cool to hear and see one in action!
I want a deer to snoot boop me too
OMG the cranking ,,,,
Good way to break your wrist, just pull up.
milyen barátságos, kedves, szeretetre méltó.
it likes the salt on your arm, couple pets in exchange for a few pets, seems like more than a fair trade.
Hope this deer will always be safe. Bad Karma to those who will harm him.
you know that hunting is for controlling deer population and you shouldn't ever pet or feed wild deer be cause it is going to cause the deer too be veryyy aggressive in the rut so dont go hating on hunters 😑
plus you dont know nothing about deer or hunting and you probably from the city
Stupid delicious deer looking yummy mouth watering
Why don't you stick to eating dogs............?
@@artrandy Deer are more delicious stupidest dog meat yaak
@@S_r_k_96 You might like cat, unless its a bit to 'gutty' for you........
@@artrandy so you're so experienced with that gutty no suggestions accepted. If Indian laws permit me I will definitely slaughter these deer and upload them in my UA-cam channel.just keep blabbering
The F-12 was the first tractor I learned to operate as a kid in the mid-'50s. My father rebuilt the engine with larger, higher compression pistons and an aftermarket gas manifold. Later he converted it to butane and mounted the tank in front of the radiator.
Good video do you have any other videos on this tractor?
I have a video of the startup procedure. ua-cam.com/video/o9fOfQ84apc/v-deo.html
The starting procedure for our old F-12 on the farm back in the 50s was; retard the mag, full choke, a little throttle and pull up on the crank. It seldom took more than a couple pulls.
You are correct something isn't right these tractors were made to start in a couple of cranks
We had a well worn F-12 on the farm in the 50s and it was finally relegated to just cutting hay with a 7' sickle mower. My dad always said it did not have enough power to pull a setting hen off its nest. It was better than a horse. :-) It did not have much power but it was reliable and always started. Gosh, those were the days and thanks for the memories.
Too bad ya can't hear the F12 working because of all the stupid music!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. I havn´t found anything that turns a furrow like an old McCormick plow. They run sweet. I'm mostly a John Deere guy but McCormick plows are the best.
That's a nice set-up you've got there! Looks like the ground was just right! Nice camera work as well!
Nice job! Would rather not hear the music though.
Sorry, It was either music or no sound at all. Forgot to plug the microphone into the primary camera.
At least the music is peaceful unlike some that play garbage that would have the old farmers I helped back in the late 70s early 80s turning in their graves
I’m working on a 1938F-12 and when it runs it dosent sound like that. It misses a lot. Any ideas?
Missing could have a lot of potential causes. Try to narrow it down to what system is suspect, i.e. ignition, fuel, .... Check if the idle and high speed mixture screws are properly adjusted ( not running to rich or too lean ). Checking the condition of the spark plugs could also give you a clue if one cylinder looks different than the others. The magneto could be another source for the issue, contacts could be fouled or not gaped properly or the condition of the carbon contacts and rotor surface. One thing I learned during my rebuild is don't assume parts you have bought as re-manufactured or sent off to be rebuilt are good. I had issues with both the magneto and the carburetor that were supposed to have been rebuilt. I would highly recommend getting one of the reproduction owners manuals you can find on line if you haven't already. It has a lot of great information on making all the adjustments and operation of the tractor.
This is actually appears to be an F14. F12 steering shaft is parallel to the hood, not slanted. Unless someone has changed it. Most parts interchange. Another way to tell is F12 has two valve cover studs while the F14 has three. Yours also has the longer brake levers. F12 brake levers were very short. F14 revs a few hundred rpm higher as well, 1650 rom vs like 1450 on the F12 if I remember right. The more I look at it, I am certain thats an F14.
I also thought this was an F14 when I first acquired it due to the higher seat height and angled steering. The serial number plate however is stamped as an F12 and the serial number dates it to 1934. On closer inspection the steering and seat modifications were not factory but home built. During the restoration I cleaned up these modifications that weren't done very cleanly, i.e the steering support bar was just extended in height and the bushing for the steering shaft was removed so and angled steering shaft could pass through. The top support has now also been angled and the bushing re-installed for nice tight steering shaft. The original head for this tractor had some significant issues which look like they were due to the head of one of the valves at some point in it's life broke off and was banging around in the number two cylinder. Beat up the valve seats pretty bad. I picked up an already re-built F14 head to put on. Should increase the power output closer to that of an F14 with the higher compression ratio. Initially I also increased the governor speed to F14 spec but later reduced it back to F12 rpm. I think an additional change to the F14 was slightly different gear ratios so that the F12 and F14 had the same ground speed even though the F14 had a higher rpm. I didn't like the extra speed in first gear.
He wanted to play with his new buddy
I like, It's beautiful and classic.
That F12 is beautiful, but I hope people who are new to antique tractors with magneto ignitions understand the potential dangers of hand crank starting. On a magneto as old as this, the timing advance is set to 0 degrees by hand. That keeps the engine from trying to start backwards and throwing the hand crank the other direct into his hand or arm. Newer mags, like the one on my '48 Farmall H, render spark adjustment unnecessary by having a start setting and a run setting. The start timing is set by turning the mag when the engine is off so it trips when at top dead center. Once set, the mag doesn't have to be moved again and the hand crank is safe to use. The run timing is set by an adjustment under the mag housing, in my case about 33 degrees before top dead center. If these are not followed, the result could be drastic loss of power or, worse, broken bones.
No matter where you set the spark advance lever on a F-12, the spark does not occur until the impulse coupling trips at DC. Full advance or full retard, makes no difference. The spark is only controllable after the engine starts and the impulse coupling disengaged. An F-12 can bite you, however, if the impulse coupling does NOT trip, and you happen to be cranking the engine fast enough to generate electricity.
Nice oldschool tractor 👌💪🤓✌️
Cool Deer!
They lick because of salty taste on skin
They lick you because of the salt on our skin and I think it tickles
Good lookin farmall. I have a few myself. Haven’t seen a f12 or f14 without tank in hood or the primer thing sticking through the hood? I have hydralics and an overdrive i want to put on my F14.
My grandfather had an F12. We could saw wood using the flywheel PTO an ancient leather drive belt and his tilt table saw rig, all day long and then some. Sweet old tractor. Long gone now. Thanks for posting. Cheers.
Nice job...runs good and someone spent a little change
Nice Farmall 👍👍👍
Very tamed and calm. It didn’t seem to care 😀👍🏻
Here before this blows up
That’s awesome I have an old bronco I would love to do this with so far it’s only seen the silver lake sand dunes and that was a blast
My '35 F-12 is grey and on full steel. The 12s can be tricky to start, because it takes awhile for the fuel system to prime. Nice tractor!
2:55 "Come on, let's play!"
that was funny but cute
Be careful around bucks during the rut season If you think there playing and going sideways jump up a tree It’s no joke But after the rut they tame back down And there hocks on inside of legs are black in rut . Then slowly gets white again Just some information about bucks Doe’s are ok till they have a baby or two and some even have triplets which can be sad because of they have a hard time keeping track and the last one born is always tiny Have y’all a blessed day
Exactly. He's like: Let's go. Chase me! Let's run!
@@annarika8234 yeah I said that to a person hating on hunters on this vid
Very smart turnout indeed. Should it run smoother though? Regards 🇬🇧
Brings back memories My dad had this tractor when I was 4 or 5 years old.
wow! what a cool encounter
