Should I gamble

grandpa Love · Dec 29, 2020

Went and looked at this 671 today. It's
ugly. SOS handle is " in the shed" "was
running" 10 years ago......front tires
shot. Backs hold air. Grease leaking out
of back axle. Rear spin out rims are on
backwards but look ok. Sheet metal has
gold paint on it. Any way to tell if it
was a gold demonstrator? Asking $500.
Dropped to $300 when he saw the head
shaking from me and my wife. How do you
rock it to see if motor is stuck? It is
a SOS.

For $300, if you can use parts from it or sell parts off of it, go for it!! If it runs and tranny works, Great!! If not, you can recoup your investment. How are the tires, if they are good, it's worth that just for the tires. I'd probably try it and I don't have any Fords!!

You cannot rock it to check if engine is locked up but you can put a wrench on the crankshaft or a hand crank and check it if it doesn't have a fan belt. To move it you need to disengage the park lock which is a small lever on the left side about where your heal would be if sitting on it

I see that much in parts. I may be looking for a fender or two. Looks like I may be staying a while just north of you in the future.

grandpa Love · Dec 29, 2020

I may go back and take another look.

Lol. Unfortunately only one Love likes this tractor.....

On a sos tractor it automatically shifts to park when the engine is turned off, you cannot rock it or even turn the tires unless you disengage the rearend.
To allow the rear wheels to spin freely for towing you remove the nut holding the Drive Line Disengagement strap on, flip the strap over, and rotate the shaft 60 degrees to the rear, you may have to rock the rear tires a little to get it to rotate. The strap can then be reinstalled to lock it in the disengaged position.

SHEESH where do you keep finding these things??? Do you have a tractor sniffing coon dog?? he says 300 offer 200 and hope he will take 250... load it up get it home... the radiator should be worth that.. I gamble with more $$$ then that every time I plant a crop...

Oh how much to rent that tractor sniffing coon dog????

Tell him to set it on fire first, then buy it.

J Hamilton · Dec 29, 2020

I agree with Old, put a wrench on the crank and see what happens

J Hamilton · Dec 29, 2020

You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to RUN! Lol

And the final verdict is.......

Unfortunately only one Love likes this tractor.....

If you can get a pipe wrench on the side of the front pulley a 8 inch wrench will turn it eazy . Hard to explain, the open end of the wrench goes inside the pulley and the other goes over the outside of the pulley.Yes it might leave a mark, but it wont hurt anything.

Traditional Farmer · Dec 29, 2020

Its your brand, for $300 can't hardly go wrong for parts,I've bought worse.

J Hamilton · Dec 29, 2020

Could you put a wrench on the PTO shaft with it engaged and turn the engine? I'm not too familiar with Ford so it's just a thought

old · Dec 29, 2020

Don't think that would work with the SOS system

larry@stinescorner · Dec 29, 2020

That tractor needs A lot of LOVE

larry@stinescorner · Dec 29, 2020

If he wants biscuits,,,he better listen,,,,

docmirror · Dec 30, 2020

Man - that baby is 'are you eff eff' = ruff.

Spin out rims are worth something, the tires need to be turned around. SOS doesn't interest me at all. Even if the motor spins, it's going to need hone, and maybe more.
