fireman 1,022 #19 Posted June 30, 2012 Derek, I went to Dave's 2 years ago to by that tractor and came home empty handed. Here is the thread about my adventure: Hope you get the parts you need to make it complete. I just couldn't take the chance knowing nothing about old Ford transmissions.

Thanks fireman the thread will help alot,seen pics of things I didnt see or get. heard this tractor has been passed around. & lots of guys lost money on it so I could get a good enough deal to put the money in it needs to save her. not sure if I will paint it but I will get her running again. dont have the rear gear yet but think I know where to get one. bought clutch off ebay hope it works.
