Nobody like to have their own, Dad"s or Grand Dad"s favorite slighted. Ford, JD, AC, IH, Oliver, you name it. It applies to all. As for the statement that "with the loaded attached to the three point at full height. And once it raise so far the three point will start to pull the front end down again". Oh please. That"s just silly. By the time the tractor"s front is high enough so the three point is levering the front down. The tractor is already straight up and moving fast enough she"s coming all the way over anways. A 8N,2N,9N with a proper fixed drawbar attached to the bottom of the trans case is a whole different deal. Mighty rare find there too. Too many times the Ford is a little small for the job and the inexperienced driver is jumpy on the clutch. Or takes a running start at the tree stump at the end of the chain. Flipping time. The other cause for roll-overs etc is the transmission driven pto. Lots of Fords up trees, into fences, posts, ditches, ponds into vehicles with that classic. An over running clutch on Ford is less than 1 in a hundred and closer to 1 in a thousand. Unless the prospective owner of older machines has a decent shop and all around technical skills. That old tractor is going to run up some shop bills over the next 10 years that will cost more than a new compact tractor. If you like the old Fords so much. At least tell the guy to spend the same bucks and get a live pto & proper drawbar with the 600, 800 ,3000 or 4000 series for the same money. You don"t drive a 1939-1953 vintage vehicle on the road every day for a reason. Same goes for farm equipment.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
