The Ford tractor might be sellable to a Ford GT guy.  They are good GTs for sure, especially the round tube frame ones.

I once had an LGT 145 like that. Great tractor, but I sold it to buy another horse lol. Keep digging and see what you find! I love going on treasure hunts like that!

Yah...had to go get some stuff that wasn't supposed to get scrapped ... so as long as I was there! My heart did miss a beat when I saw the horse but then sank when a saw the front legs had been cut off and also the seat spring torched. .... sorry no Mclean's that I saw ....yet!

Nice but it is not a 502 or a 61/62...it's got the lift adjustable star wheel.  That would make it a 1963.  :)

Yup Jim, as Steve said, 1963 was the first year. But after 50+ years and who knows what the previous owners swapped out it's impossible to confirm what actually came out of the factory. The best way to come close is by looking at a copy of the original parts list. Starting back in the 60's yours truly, still wet behind the ears, was 'upgrading' older tractors with the later improvements that came out. That was mainly due to a certain guy who worked at Wheel Horse and had a garage full of new parts but my supply ended when my Dad found out how he got all those parts. After all the years, if any of those old machines are still out there, the modifications would certainly now be assumed as original. It never ceases to amaze me how so many  parts are so interchangeable over the years and even decades but it sure drives us nuts at times trying to pinpoint a particular model. :think:

Jim, you want to grab that Ford.  :handgestures-thumbupright:  Not only is the Ford a nice tractor, but a little Red, White and Blue in the shed in central Wisconsin is probably mandatory.  :occasion-xmas:
