The 10-20 TracTractor was International Harvester's first crawler. They were built from 1928-30. 486 built. There was a slightly updated version called the No.20 built from 1930-32. 954 built. Both were based on the 10-20 farm tractor. There was also a model called the T-20 built 1931 to 1939 which used an engine similar to the Farmall F-20 row crop tractor.😊

Always fascinating to see and hear about the design evolution in these old machines. It's fun to follow the design trajectories the different manufacturers used. Great descriptive video as always! 👍

@michaelhalsall5684 4 ай бұрын

The rear drive shaft was probably a PTO drive shaft. There was an optional belt pulley offered (an extension housing with the pulley mounted at 90 degrees to it). It appears an aftermarket speed reducer has been added to the PTO shaft to drive a winch or similar.

There's an even rarer one in the Mohave, with the truncated cone caps rather than the standard ones like this one has - has a dozer blade too. It's on federal land, therefore a federally protected artifact - which is cool. Anyways, i think the clutches have power sent up through a shaft, and the power's sent down through a sleeve shaft with a basic lift (sprung) mechanism in the "humps". To make it easy to understand, it's essentially a normal clutch - off like any other machine, but then think it's been spaced away from the frame of the tractor, and finally, jointed upwards to become commands. IN theory this kind of a clutch is far easier to service, easier to operate, it's protected from any water damage ... in practice... it would have wear issues and once the teeth down under would go, it's done for. I can't for the life of me, remember the name of the French tractor that has a very similar concept, and off of which i'm basing my theory on how it works. Of course, these are not the only tractors that had exterior clutches. Goes to show that once we figured out clutch tech that didn't care about water all that much, we steered clear of ... well, cumbersome bypasses like these. Regardless, awesome piece of history. In closing tho... for shame that the owner ran it without the reinforcement plates and allowed it to crack. Just a shame. Those are not just covers, they're also "just enough" material to keep the frame from cracking, hence the substantial bolt pockets.

Forks - something that splits into two is said to "fork" Wishbone commonly refers to Furcula, a fork-shaped bone in birds and some dinosaurs. This is a tractor , neither a bird or a dinosaur.

Great find, restoration, and walk-around. The engineering team did a great job designing this traction option. The tracks and powertrain weren't approached like an aftermarket kit. Does anyone know what year this tractor was built? I wonder how this tractor was priced in relation to models by Caterpillar and Cletrac?

I liked the chain hook on the drawbar. Must not have any temper. I've run a F20 on diesel. You have about half a hour to restart them without draining the carburetor. I would like to hear what that stub on the rear is about ? I would speculate it was for a winch. Takk Skal du ha !

@michaelhalsall5684 4 ай бұрын

Don't run your F-20 on diesel fuel, it will only block the carbon and make a very smoke exhaust. Tractor kerosene fuel is no longer made BUT your tractor can be run on low grade gasoline (petrol) Don't confuse the T-20 / F-20 kerosene engine with the later "Gasoline Start" diesel engines used in the later TD-6 & Farmall MD tractors.

Did you notice track links are on I reverse

@squatch253 5 ай бұрын

Yes, after the fact when doing the editing. At that same time I also realized the reason the idler yoke is rubbing on the center rib is because the track chains are worn and stretched so the travel is maxed out - but at the time I was recording there was a lot of other activity moving in on me so I had to get things done pretty fast and in as few takes as possible lol 😂 That’s why I prefer to do these walkarounds at shows where I can stay for more than one day, so I can carefully study everything a lot more and then head out early the following day and get the recording done before everybody else wakes up 👍

It’s not a prototype, unfortunately. IH offered those tractors two ways - you could get them in a “Distillate” fuel version which had the lower compression cylinder head and did not get the “X” after the serial number. But the dedicated gasoline burning tractors got the higher compression cylinder heads as well as the “X” after the serial number to easily identify them. My ‘45 H has that same “X” 👍
