Got the F-20 running

Very nice! I'm glad your going to keep the patina.

Yes paint is just to cover up the real thing in the minds of some.

The tractor that I bought a couple years ago goes by Rusty. It is a 1980 3600 Ford that was never parked under a roof. I did use Phosphoric Acid on it to help with deep rust.

I just saw several F-20's in running condition on an auction on Big Iron. They cheated and push started them instead of cranking them. I don't blame them. Neat old tractors. That sale had a bunch of old Farmalls on it. Some restored and some not, but every single one them started and ran. H, M, WD9, WD6, 450, 460, Super MD. There are several I would like, but only have budget and room for one.
