Not really a barn find as I knew it was there. I think there are about five people that know where it is.
It is a 1959 861 diesel. Too make a long story short.A friend of the owner borrowed it and filled it full of crappy diesel. It was at the repair shop when the owner died. Family did not want to spend the money to replace the pump. It did get new injectors. I'm guessing the injectors may not be good anymore. Been sitting with fuel in it since 2013. I have not asked the owner about buying it this year yet.. Back in 2013 she wanted $7,000.
It has power adjust rims that have been patch together with another pieces from another rim. It needs tires, gauges,and 3rd gear has a problem.
It was overhauled by a Ford dealer in 1984 when the owner bought it. Was really nice tractor. Owner was very proud of it and took good care of it. After he died is a different story.
Was thinking about offering her $500-700?
