I would like any info I could get on a F3, a friend is thinking about selling us his and I don't know much about them. So what would be good, bad, stuff to look at? Thanks Luke ------------- MN FARM BOY Luke www.silsethfamilyfarm.com |

| They are great combines but remember that you are looking at a 34 year old machine. Very easy to work on. Condition is everything. I have seen them in salvage yards after being worked hard and you can still find a sweet one at a auction that almost looks new every now and then. I remember going with my father when he was thinking about renting the farm out to look at a green strip F3. I wish I would have voiced my opinion more but I was to busy chasing gals back then. It was one nice combine and I wish we would have bought it. The farm got rented out the next year. Ryan |

They are very nice machines. We ran an F2 for years and bought a 3 last year. There are really no weak points on them. Just normal wear. I would look at the usual stuff. Tires, cylinder bars, raddle chains, and chains and sprockets. And just general overall condition. Good luck |

 Here is the F3 my dad bought two years ago. Really nice for our sized farm. It is a gear drive which I am happy about. Have learned a lot about the F3 over the last three seasons(not because of break downs or anything) so if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask me! |

DanD, Nice looking F3. Neighbor bought a late F2 this year and I helped him with it. Do you still have the 630 JD with 319 NI picker? |
