Great Grandfather’s 1936 Farmall F-12

This is my 1936 Farmall F-12, it was purchased in late 1937.  My great grandfather purchased the tractor by selling a cow for $100. He had a mounted sickle bar on the back to cut along the fence and road. My father inherited the tractor in 1998 and restored it, putting it in parades and tractor shows. In 2015 he then passed it onto me. In 2023-2024 I went through and repainted it and resealed the engine from any worn out seals. This tractor will continue to be apart our family and continue being passed on.
