Tom: Just another word on your lot development. When I bought the farm from my dad, he moved to a new place not far away. He proceeded to reshape the entire lot. Frist few times he came for the 560 with loader. He came once and 560 was busy on farm. He reluctantly took a skid steer loader. From that time on it was never the 560, I had to go to dad's place for, it was the skid loader. Those skid loaders I used mainly for barn work, thus in summer one loader was not esential. Dad parctically took possession of the parked loader all summer. The very first vehicle my kids learned to drive was skid steer loader. With ROPS protection and seat belt, much safer than SA, 130, 300 or 560. At 12 years of age my daughter actually did jobs for people, with skid loader earning a bit of money for herself. Actually she took it further than a bit. At one point I suggested she might consider buying her own loader rather than wearing dad's out completely. On the mower tractor, I have a Super A with a 5 foot Woods belly mower. Have been a Farmall man all my life. I like the Woods mower very much, and of course you would never get me to part with that Super A. However I the height of Super A is not the most desirable for mowing. I have had to trim some branches from ornamental trees and a hedge row, that I really didn't want to do. Trees give you great wind break as well as privacy. Just maybe, an 8N or Fergie would be more practical for me. I kept a hand push mower for mowing under those trees, haha that didn't last long.

They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
