I have a 1939 f20 that has been sitting for a while. I bought it last year and haven't done much to it other than drag it in the woodline. I just finished a project and I'm now considering getting this going. The motor is free and has spark so I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get running. The radiator is full of coolant and seems to be in good condition. One rear tire is shredded and it's also missing a front wheel. How collectable are these tractors? Not quite sure what one in running condition would be worth because I don't see too many of them.

These tractors were fairly common. They were largely produced and widely used. But even as common as they were,
the ones in running condition are getting hard to find.

Both my F-20's (between the Farmall A and H) are good runners and have good tires. One is an older paint job, the other is original rust. I'm not sure I could get $2,000 for both of them.

Can an F-20 be made to idle smoothly like an H or M? I have never been able to achieve this.

Maybe they've gone back up in value. Fortunately I'm more of a hoarder than a seller
the carbs on them when set for heavy work tend to run very rich at idle, but if you lean it out will idle very smooth, if not your carb has issues. If you shut the fuel off and let it run until it dies from fuel starvation, you will notice it smoothing out a lot before it starts to sputter and die.
