Wow, nice! I can't get my HOA to let me have one of those. Does it run?

Nice! Don't know if you do Facebook, but there is a fine Fordson F group, and a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people.

Such a shame to see it continue to rot away.
Sorry if I offend but that thing could be put back into service......
I'd kill to have one to restore and USE.
Just my opinion....

Marty, I have no doubt you could restore that tractor to better than factory specs and I'd love to see the results but how would you use it? -- Russ

Marty,   Wow.... rotting away??? what do you want me to say to that??  ???

Craig I think he's saying he would keep it inside not out in the elements where it could start to rust away.

My nephew has 5 tractors that he collected they all sit outside and every year they deteriorate more!!

I would "use" it that's all I'm saying.
Taking care of my property and managing the forest.
(That would require my moving and getting the property, which is in the plan in the next few years)
It's nice to "see" history but better to see it in it's natural environment - working.

There's one locally in front of a tractor dealer.
Every time I drive by I wonder if anyone would notice me putting it on a trailer?.... 8)

Probably nobody would notice but I urge you to steal the tractor to find out. -- ssuR
