Hello all;
I'm a regular over on the N board, but first time posting over here, and the non-N Fords are new territory for me.
I have an opportunity to purchase a 961 Diesel row crop for $1900. I've been looking for a diesel tractor for the farm for a while, and this seems like a good place to start.
The engine sounds good, but starts hard when cold. What would cause the hard starting? Engine does not smoke and has about 45lbs oil pressure.
Any other areas I should be looking at on this one?
Tin needs paint but is straight. Tires are average-to-poor. No major oil leaks noticeable. Hydraulics work and the transmission doesn't make any noise.
Thanks,
Colin, MN
