The large data samples of hundreds of top events collected
at the Tevatron CDF II experiment allow for a variety of measurements
to analyze the production and properties of the top quark.  This article
presents analyses studying the t anti-t production cross section, t anti-t
production mechanism, and the helicity of W bosons in top quark decays.
These analyses use an integrated luminosity of about 1 fb-1 in the
'lepton+jets' channel of the t anti-t decay.
