Basically the title says it all. My employer has basically become bankrupt, and rather than paying me, they are offering me this tractor.. Here are the facts:
It is the EARLY style Ford 4000
Diesel (not really running, something mechanical is wrong)
SOS Tranny (some little clip thing is broken, I think I can have a replacement made, but not sure)
It has nice tires, and a full set of Pie Weights.
It looks like a standard tractor, with an adjustable wide front.
They had been using it a lot, and it was one of the original tractors on the farm.
What CAN this tractor do?
Run a 9 foot swather?
Pull a PTO powered baler?
3 bottom plow?
___ Foot Disc?
What else can it do? I know that it would be a lot of work, but it would be worth it to me if I could use this tractor as an actual farm tractor. Not so much a restoration, but when I turn 18, I AM going to start farming on my own, and I would really like to have something that is a little bigger, and a little more reliable than all of my old tractors. This one is probably from the early 60's right?
Due to what they owe me, it is being valued at $480. They are on the fence, but I think it would probably be a good deal for both of us... What do you think?! Bryce

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
