It likes lots of gas, old points and some help charging the battery. If it floods, I remove the air intake from the carb and give it a minute. Grades the lane, pulls and pushes docks and boats and clears heavy Nova Scotia snow as gracefully as a blunt object can.

I'd sure find a way to put a spring or two under the seat though to make it last longer.<br /><br />I've been considering buying a Model T or Model A pickup truck. I really like the look of early 30s Model As better, but when I found out that they had over 160 cotter keys in them I decided a late 20s Model T had much less stuff to go wrong, so I'll probably go with one of those some day. Sometimes you find them at barn auctions really cheap. It's amazing what some of these old farmers leave in their barns after they die.Yahoobuckaroo's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621308885893253608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-8235886917883523732013-09-02T18:02:26.082-05:002013-09-02T18:02:26.082-05:00What a thing of beauty!

At first I couldn't justify it but it may save the four wheeler which is at least 4x as expensive to replace plus he can pull the trees with this and do the road grading which was hard on the four wheeler.

Those tractors have been a work horse for over 60 years and yours is in really good condition, you should see my 1954 Ferguson. The engine in your tractor is very similar to the old model A Ford though a lot better. Good choice!Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.com
