Do you own a Farmall, Shaun? I started restoring a derelict 1936 F12 when I was 13......it took three years, but I learnt a huge amount.
The next project was a '41 1 ton Ford truck, but that never got finished.
No unfortunately. I live in John Deere country, and Farmalls are very uncommon. Those that are here go for pretty high dollar, even ones that have been sitting for 30 years.
My grandpa was a Farmall collector. He had around 16 different Farmalls at one time. Most were F20's, and two or three were M's. One was a completely restored Super M.
If I ever move out of Florida, I would like to find an F20 or an M project of my own in honor of my grandpa. My dad still has two or three of the tractors, the rest were sold off with the estate.
F12's & 14's were reasonably common here, also some F20's........I haven't seen an F30 though.
Later model Farmalls (A,B,C,H,M etc) were common; Fordsons & Fergusons were everywhere.

My grandpa belonged to a small Farmall club up in Indiana, and I remember going to a meeting with him years and years ago when I was visiting. Seemed like all the guys had F20's, except for one guy who had a Cub.
Matt, great work on the tailgate. I had to drill the holes in mine for the tailgate panel. I know that wasn't fun. I can only imagine having to fill them in.
I had fun welding the holes up. I simply bought a 3' stock of the appropriate sized round stock, made/cut spacers, welded them in, ground them down, struck them all as hard as I could with a hammer to make sure they weren't going to come out. Did the body filler work, only one you can kind of see a low spot where I sanded too much on one. But you have to get eye level with it and inline with it to even see it. It's not perfect, but looks better than most of the old truck tailgates around here LOL especially for painting it in my back yard!
Hi! Thought I'd post my resent project.
This is my '84 F-150 with a 351w, 32x12.5 tires, dual glasspacks, new paint (done by myself). new glass and seals. It's been a fun project, and hope to drive it for a few years!!

This is the current state of my '85 f250 4x4, Liz,
I really need to repaint her, and I should get those front wheels swapped out, but two engines, three front axles,four fenders, three rear bumpers, two beds, seven tailgates and three radiator core supports later, she's still as seaworthy as the day she was made.
Anybody got a spare '83 Explorer seat ( red with plaid cloth) floating around?
