Last week you guys helped a lot in figuring out what I had. Finally got a picture to show what we were dealing with. Good news is it runs great! Gotta find a muffler, exhaust pipe and air cleaner and then I'll be happy (and some paint!) Anyone have a suggestion on front tires that would be kinder on the grass? The rims are shot so I've got to replace the rim and tires anyway and thought something fatter would be good. The rear tires are great. Hope I figured out the picture thing...couldn't find any instructions. Thanks! Steve

Thanks Burt...I already ordered a manual but that's nice of you. I was thinking of getting a CD of everything but it doesn't indicate that he has the 500 series...but you indicate that the 600 series is the same for the shop etc? It has the tires you mentioned...a buddy suggested wider front tires to keep from messing up the yard (we're sandy shore side in NC) but didn't say what size. I'm thinking of taking off those bars on the front. When you say exhaust etc from Ford...you mean any tractor dealer? I am VERY new at all this. Thanks again, Steve

The book I offered is the operators manual it took me 5 years to find !!! therefore I think they are hard to find. Also it is the 01 series some diff. from the 100 series. Where are you in N.C.? I am in Ont. Can.,but bought the tractor a few miles from Myrtle Beach S.C. I talked to a FORD dealer just 10 miles North of the big Mall. near South Myrtle Beach. I buy a lot of parts from Ford New Holland,my parts man has been doing this since 1962,he really knows his parts, he also has jober parts if cheaper &/or better. BURT.

Burt...the manual came in and it is exactly what I needed. Has a supplement for the 541. It is entitled: Ford Operators Manual Tractors 501, 701, aand 901. Number is FO-O-501,541. Very nice of you to offer and would have taken you up on it had I not already paid for it. Now if I can figure the right muffler and pipe to put on this sucker! Tnx, Steve

Thanks Burt...let me see what I get for a manual when the mail arrives..I probably got had (again) but maybe I got lucky and won't have to bother you. We're on the Outer Banks, about 40 miles northeast of Morehead City NC. Do you know which oil filter it uses? The one in it looks like the ones on cars today but the lettering is faded too bad. Also, the shift lever spins around 360 deg...it works fine but curious about that. There's another question but I forget it now...hell to get old! Steve

And a front emblem, but I think both are going to be hard to find. I don't think the offset fenders were a match to anything else. If anything they would be closest to 701/901 fenders.

You're right. By the way...how'd you make the picture smaller and how'd you post it? I went nuts last nite trying to figure that out. Tnx!!!

I don't know how to resize pictures using the "Optional Image URL" box, but if you imbed your pic URL in the text of your message you can dictate it's size. Here's the html tag to use:

img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/pictures/mytractor.jpg" width=400

Now just put a "<" in front of "img" and a ">" in back of "400".

You can experiment with different sizes, but 400 seems to work well on most monitors. I posted some pics at size 600 and they looked great on my computer at work, but when I got home they were too big on my home computer.

Just for comparison:

This is width=100

This is 200

This is 300

This is 400

this is 500

and this is 600
