Finally got a few pictures of the 850 and 5200 my cousin bought last week.
The loader is a Fasco 1200, which after reading in the archives I see is the same as a late '60's - early '70's Ford 1200. I'll be taking it off soon, so the half tracks can be put on. Tractor needs a little work - starter push button, seat, PTO seal, etc. Nothing major that I've seen. Has a 801 grill and Jubilee nose emblem, but as those are just cosmetic, I doubt they'll get fixed. Should be a big improvement from the borrowed (and kinda tired) 8N they used last spring.
The 5200 may be here a while, or may be sold... he hasn't decided yet. Needs a water pump, shift lever locator pin, and tach work (don't know yet if it's the tach, cable, or drive) Every time I see a row crop with 30" rears, I wonder why it was ordered that way... At least this one doesn't combine 16.9x30's with 7.50x18's. The one I saw like that REALLY ran uphill!
