I just bought a TO30 over the weekend i thought it was a steal
I paid 1100 dollars talked down from 1350
The rear tires looks new but one is showing rust around the valve stem . should i remove the calcium in the tires . i just plan on using a 7 foot blade for grading a driveway and snow removal when the time comes .
also i am shopping for brush hog i see a cheap 4 ft on craigslist for 350 thats a king kutter . I have small brush lines along the fences i want to take care of and once i get my field whipped in to shape i will prolly just use a finish mower to cut what the horse and future cows wont eat . can i get by with a 4 ft or should i just step up and get a 5-6 foot brush hog ?
it has alternator issue with the fuse holder that is broke and missing on the field lead to the alternator should i install a splash proof fuse holder with a 5, 7.5 or 10 amp fuse ?
also just completed my first 40 dollar oil change on the fergie i used rotella 30w oil and a quart of lucas oil stabilizer . iv used the stabilizer in many applications so i think it should run good but looking at tractor data i see 30w is recommended for 50-120 degrees but do i have to do a seasonal oil change for the winter months when it is woken up to blade off 3-12 inchs off snow ? or can i get by with a good warm up then go play in the snow ? I plan on being a neighbor hood hero doing a few neighbors drives might get a six pack out of the deal or a few bucks for fuel .
oh the and yes the transmission/hydraulic fluid shows a little gummy milk on the dipstick . i think the previous owner never shedded this tractor and rode her hard and kept her wet .
whats a replacement fluid and how would i go about getting the contaminated stuff out (all of it ) .
i think i am on the end of finishing up a bodged up 12 volt conversion ( hence the fuse for the alternator ) i want the tractor lights to work i can get the wiring down with a new switch and rerunning or checking the installed connections or wires but what is a part number for 12v bulbs for the front i can use ?
anybody have a paint code for the original ferg. grey ?
now by a show of hands of the purist how many of you would grab torches and pitch forks if i installed a led work light for the rear ?
is there a way to get the original s starting gear position to work or did that die with 12v conversion ?
i know that's like a dozen broken poor grammar questions but it was i want to hear about if i call family or friends i get different answers and some dont know much about the model specific ones

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
