I just could not resist buying another one. LOL It is a MFWD and I knew the tractor very well until four years ago. I had done all of the service work on it since new for a former customer.
The prior owner called me a few weeks back telling me his old tractors was for sale again.
So I went and looked at it. It has some issues now. The left front MFWD casting has the steering cylinder mounting ear broke off. And the left front steering cylinder is only half there. The ram is missing.
Also it is not shifting into 13th correctly. It will shift from 14th to 13th correctly but not 12th to 13th. I really looked long and hard an even took pressure readings. They all are correct. I am guessing/hoping that the shift valve has an internal issue.
To the good: The tractor has 85% Firestone rear tires. and the cab is still in good shape. It starts and runs fine too.
So I wrote the check and hauled it home today. The owner wanted a picture so I took one with my "stupid" phone. I forward them to my wife and she sends them to my computer. I will email him a picture of it leaving his place.
I think I will keep this one around if the issues are as minor as I think they are. It only has 4800 original hours. I almost bought it when it sold the last time but I just did not want to spend that much at that time. I am getting it a good bit cheaper now. So even if I have to spend some time and parts on it I should be OK.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
