I may have the opportunity to buy a 1937 F-20(according to sign that is on it) The engine turns freely, the transmission and pto seems to shift fine and the tires will hold air. However, the whole electrical system seems to have been stripped off. There is no battery, starter, ignition switch/button and no magneto or distributor(not sure which it used) My question is did this tractor use a magneto and are these parts hard to find? Also where is the serial number located? This will be my first time working on a Farmall and I think this would be a good project tractor if parts aren't a problem.

Thanks,
John

The F20 is a hand start tractor and would have had an IH F4 magneto. Lighting was an option. Any electric starters were an add-on.

I would ask them if any of the missing parts are available. I would go with a mag, the MagMan that posts on here probably has a rebuilt mag. The wiring shouldn't be that difficult to do if all you need is battery, cables, generator, regulator and starter. The mag would only require a wire for grounding out the mag during engine shutdown.
