900 ford update

Just though I'd do an update on the 960 that followed me home last month.
Got the gas valve changed, updated to 12 volt, updated to electronic ignition, new fuel line, new wiring, new ignition switch, and gave her a good looking over. Bought it from a friend off his lot, had been sitting for nearly two years. Some one broke the ignition switch, had the carb way out of adjustment. Had it running a week ago, but just got to take her out today for a real test drive. Was told it worked and ran good, but you know salesmen, but she ran great, tranny stayed in gear, nice and tight, governor kicked in when needed, no smoke, idles right down, only problem is the oil line is leaking at the gauge. Only thing she really needs is new rubber on the rear. Got excellent PA rims, don't know if I'll ever use them. Have loop style on the 841 and don't change the tread width on that one either. Have to think about whether to keep them or trade them off.

William, Thanks, she is a great tractor. Origional paint, a lot of the original decals are partially there. Thinking about leaving her as she is, but they do look nice in new paint. Only draw back is someone took off the powersteering and replaced the drag link with one they fabbed up. Not a terrible job, but want to find an original one.
 
Good looking tractor. I love my 960. Spin out rims are cool at tractor shows. I kinda like the original look. Kevin in Central AL
 
Cool looking old tractor, paint her up, throw a set of front cultivators on there and you would have something,

Always enjoyed driving the narrow front end tractors as they would turn so much shorter

My problem, as I have gotten older, I would have to install a secondary step so I could climb up on the tractor,

Good find,
 
clean and keep them rims, they are getting rare.

Change that oil gauge.

run that rear rubber till it blows off the rim!
