Somewhat ashamed to admit I paid $450 for this toy, however....
It came home in the cold rain and just got parked for the night and maybe tomorrow should get off loaded.

The exhaust system drops into this box affair that then went up next to the now removed canopy.

Strange things inside front rims.






Previously I have only seen pictures of them.
Now I have a rear set from "Tweety" and a set from this toy.

I suspect I will be salvaging this unit for spare parts for her TO-20 or possibly sell a few items.

I was kinda'sorta thinking I might be able to sell parts, if I have to, to recoup the $450.
So in the past two weeks I am out $950 for weights for her Fergy.
I think she might start paying attention to this...I better get busy cleaning up this "enterprise".
 
My 8N had those weights on it when I was a kid.
I always thought they were concrete back then.
I took them off about 20 years ago when I needed new rims and put them on the back of a MF 30B I had then with a loader.
Had a stack of weights on the back of that thing.
They finally went down the road on that loader.

Saw a pair of those in my north 40 yesterday along with a set of pie weights. Was looking for something else.
 
Which is why I gave $450 for this machine. A few days ago I got bored and looked under Ferguson tractor on craigslist. I spotted his ad and
figured, "Good luck with that". I then found the entire machine with weights and having a need for the front weights for some time now, I
called up the owner of the complete machine. We talked awhile and he lowered the price to $450.
So, I said "Yes" and then told/asked the wife I bought another machine... So we took a short 4 hour round trip. After she calmed
down a bit. Not much, just a bit with a tone of resignation at my ongoing ignorance.
 
Is the rear of the differential housing broken from the forces downward on the receiver hitch? Any fluid in the trans/differential?
 
The lid was removed before i got it....
It ran for quite possibly the last time when it got loaded.
He kept the 12V battery and it's wired for 6V from appearances.
Tweety needs a 6V batt when I get it ready to start.
 
Don't know, didn't check. I just had the PO run it long enough to back onto trailer before he pulled the battery out of it.
That drawbar does not tilt.
