Flipped F-20 | A friend traded me a F-20 for a Oliver 77. The F-20 ran but not good enough to hand crank. I wanted to drive it one day but was alone. I came up with a plan. . . . tie the F-20 to my truck put the truck in 4wd low, then get on the F-20 and put in in gear to get it started. Put it in neutral, get off, walk up to the truck and shut it off. This whole idea went south in a hurry when the F-20 front turned west and the truck turned east. I could not get the F-20 turned to follow the truck. The truck (1 ton 4x4 454) was not letting up at all. I wound up flipping the F-20 on its side breaking lots of parts but I was not hurt. The last part of the story is hard to believe. I've been on the farm all of my life, 25 years driving tractors and I waited until age 33 to flip one over. DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!!
