Tractor ID & A What Is It?

[tst]

I know its not a cub but I thought more would see this here to help figure it out, not a great pic of the tractor but I was thinking a F20, the owner claims it ran last fall! the other thing is that maybe a spreader?
thanks Tim

The fall of 1953 maybe...

The other "thing" looks to me like a potato digger. Vern

Also thinking potato digger or harvester for a root crop. Looks like it was parked the same last fall as the tractor.

Sure wish I could see if the steering gear was exposed or in a housing. That's the easiest way to check F20 or Regular. Agree the other tool looks like a root crop digger. If it's foir potatoes, the chain and drive mechanism for the chain seems to be gone.

Thanks for the help guys, you don't think he was lying about it running last fall?

Well there is no doubt about the first pic, it is a Potato Digger, ground driven. What model Who knows -

Second pic appears to be maybe one of the F- series with a loader. Others with better eyesight than me may be able to get closer on the id.

The loader is one that goes to an H or M tractor,---been added to the 20!---the loader for the 20, reg, etc. were the big square belt drive chain/cable/gear setup and could be used also on other tractors of the time!---Dad had one on a 30! thanks; sonny
