The old F3 my Pop had when I was young would pull whatever you wanted. The F1s we had would pull a light grain cart trailer with no problems but would grunt if you tried to pull a heavy dual axle trailer with 3500 lbs of car or equipment on it. Our 51 Merc would pull better than the F1s but it was a bit larger in CID and carburetion.
