Hello everyone,
I'm in need of a working tractor for my property. I was able to manage this year with a 18hp garden tractor but I need to up the ante. My budget isnt much so there hasn't been a whole lot of options but a "Little grey Fergie" has come up for sale. According to the owner who I spoke with on the phone, it runs well. He replaced this spring the plug, ignition wires, and distributor cap. I've become pretty familiar with gas engines recently and I understand these old machines are easy to work with. Only issue is that the hydraulics aren't currently working, but he said they worked in the fall. It comes with a loader (no bucket), scraper, and is asking extra for a rear bucket that attaches to 3 pt hitch , and a 2 furrow plow. He's asking $1800CAD.
My questions are what should I look for, does anything stand out in the pics? And what do you guys think its worth even in your area? Also, am I crazy for wanting to run firewood, move dirt and work the soil with a 70 year old tractor?
Going to look at it tomorrow and just thought I would drop by the place all the tractor experts hang out lol. I hope I'm not asking for too much here, I hope maybe someone enjoys helping a fella out. I have attached some pics. Thanks.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
