Ultra Rare 860

Folks, below you will find a link to an ultra rare Ford 960, having both the unheard of overhead cam engine and the equally rare high/low range 5 speed transmission.

Don't delay.

Not mine, of course.

Sorry, can't edit.

The text should say Ford 860 and the link title should say Ultra Rare 860.

How the heck can that be....only way it would have a Sherman for high low is with a 4 speed, only way it could have live pto and be an 860 is with a 5 speed, to my knowledge no one ever made an auxiliary transmission that worked with a 5 speed unless maybe it has a creeper gear behind the transmission that's possible and would be rare. Sure has a weird setup between the 3pto arms
 
That's been posted before. I was thinking about going down to look at it a month or so ago but life got in the way. ;)
 
"Sure has a weird setup between the 3pto arms"

I noticed that too. My guess is that it is a stand for a 3pt
wood splitter or similar implement. I doesn't look like there
is room for a PTO shaft to fit through it. Maybe under...

I know nothing about that loader but it looks to be fairly light
duty and he said it has a trip bucket. To me, that would lower
the value of the tractor in general.
 
My guess is he doesn't know. I knew a guy that had a JD 620. He thought the lever for the PTO was an Over Drive to make the tractor go faster!
 
Loader or not, assuming the tractor is
in fact an 860 with live pto I would say
it's a very fair price for a tractor
with straight sheet metal and overall
decent appearance.
 
Prices vary greatly by region of course.
I agree that it's not a bad looking tractor.

Loaders are often abused and cause damage to the tractor.
That one being a trip bucket style would be mostly useless to me.
Not that they haven't served their purpose well over the years.
Trip buckets just don't fit well with the work I need mine to do.

One could always remove the loader and sell it to recoup some
of the price of the tractor or repairs though.
