Casey in Kentucky; I own three old tractors, but don't do anymore than cut grass and rocks. Not knowing anything about your tractor needs make it easier to respond to your post. You say that your MF doesn't quite measure up. Will the Ford do better? Speak from your head on this one, not from the heart. The Ford will have to out perform what your MF is currently doing. Can it, or better yet will it? If the answer is I don't know then you have to think harder on this or stay with what you now have. As for the money savings, don't consider that into your decision. that savings will probably go into parts and rebuilds. Look at the Ford and estimate what the entire cost of bringing it up to your expectations are. Add that to the price. Then mentally park them both side by side. Which one would you salavate over to drive first? That question is for your heart to answer.

As for the people giving you their advice, are they really the ones who can answer your question? You must have the time, money, facilities, know how and some kind of love for doing it(has to be more than not minding).You say that you would be crazy not to; well, then you are also saying that you would be sane to do it, right? Ask yourself this question. How will you feel about your still using your MF, say, five years from now, knowing that you had a chance to be driving and working with the one you really wanted. Kind of like marrying the wrong girl.

What I am getting at is that in the end it will come down to what do you want? As always advice is cheap, and it is easily given and rarely do people consider the whole picture when they give it to you. You got a lot of lengthy, free advice here, but I hope it helps you in making your decision. I hope I helped you a little and good luck with what ever decision you make.
