In the90's I worked on a ranch that had an old Ford tractor. I was told it was an 8n, but looking more at the 8n, I do not think that is correct.
It had a transmission that had you had to raise and lower the shifter to get into all the gears. the first one I can find with that is in the 100 series, I think it was an 800.
That old tractor was a pleasure to use, and it did everything from moving large round bales with the loader to dropping fence post holes like crazy. It has come to mind as I try to use an MF20 for similar activities and struggle with it badly now. A lot has to do with the horribly stiff clutch and terrible "power" steering.
Granted I was much younger then, but I do not remember any of those issues with that old Ford.
Can anyone help me identify the model we might have had? The old rancher has passed away, and no one there remembers now.
Thanks
