Well ... I found another tractor that wasn't what I expected. I went to look at a tractor advertised as a 1953 Jubilee parts tractor. Turned out to be a early 4000 light industrial. Its ugly but does have some redeeming graces like, 174 motor, power steering, cast iron wheel centers on the rear, some sort of Sherman (probably a reverser looking at whets left of the shift lever), heavy duty front axle, hydraulics and PTO, foot throttle, and a new exhaust. It does not have a hitch. It has a 12V Alternator system. The fenders are huge and I think they may be from a David Brown. Tires are huge also, one is a 14.9x24 and the other a 16.9x24. All the oils look clear and only the transmission had any water in the bottom which I drained out. I have not tried to start it. Most of my Ford experience is with Funk's, Jubilee's and the 100 series row crop (740 and 960). The question is ... Is this one worth trying to save? Or is it truly a parts tractor? Comments and advice from the experts on this site would be welcome. I would especially like to learn more about the cast iron wheels, what they might weigh, are they rare, etc. Also, what hitch is proper? I will try to upload some pictures.

The draft forces are
