Ok, I am VERY tempted by a couple of ads I've seen on Facebook
2 months or so ago, I was looking to get a tractor in the 40-60 hp range. I was wanting diesel, slow low gear, reasonable road gear, easy to use.
What I bought was a Ford 841. Dont feel I did badly wirh it, bought it w blade and a 5' brush hog for 1000, and 20 miles from the house. Put a Starter, Points / condenser, distributor rotor and cap- Drove it home, and so far appears everything is operational. Just feels a bit fast in low gear
So looking at Facebook - its still showing Tractors for sale in my area- 1st up- a Ford Selectospeed Diesel w transmission removed. $700- Hmmm
Very next ad- 5 speed Ford transmission, with dual clutch-500
Both are reasonably close to the shop, and I can swap pieces and parts as required
Should I?
