    20 acre tractor

    It's actually pretty sandy, soft soil. The hunting ground has only been mowed for the last 15 years. It would need some serious work to get it turned I would bet.

    20 acre tractor

    I was thinking around 5K but could go more if needed to get the right tractor and equipment.

    20 acre tractor

    What would be my best bet for a working tractor for 20 acres tillable? I've had several old Fords. A 4000 4 cyclinder, a couple 961's an 861 and a Jubilee. Those were more just hobbies. Never really worked any of them except for some brush hogging and snow plowing. Now I have a place with some...

    1961 Industrial

    Would anyone have a rough idea what this might weigh with the loader, weights and rear box? Came up for sale not too far from me and I'm thinking about it. Ad describes it as a 1961 Industrial. Only concern is my tandem axle 18 foot trailer is only rated for 7K. Pretty sure I can't put any more...

    901

    Wasn't really looking but this came up locally by me. Going to need a retirement project shortly and was thinking about it. Think it's worth a 5 or $700 offer? Never had an SOS and know NOTHING about them. Could letting them sit that long destroy them? I'm sure the motor probably needs to be...

    Ford 907 flail mower

    Not sure if anyone might be interested in this. Saw it on a local Craigslist. https://mattoon.craigslist.org/grd/d/herrick-ford-907-flail-mower/7639796838.html[/url]

    961 Step

    Saw something similar somewhere on here before so I thought I'd throw one together at the shop today with some cut offs from previous jobs. Might make life a bit easier getting on and off.

    961 tail light

    Been looking for a work light and tail light and found these. I know the tail light isn't from a 961 with the bracket that came on it so I just took a piece of stock to mount it to for now to make it work. Anyone know what it may have come off of with that angle on it? It has the original FOMOCO...

    Opinions?

    Got the 8ft. back blade repaired and remounted on the 961. Now, would you paint it the original Deere green that came original on the 88 or paint it the Ford red to match the tractor? I don't think the snow will mind either way.....

    Seafoam Marine Pro

    Does anyone know if it would hurt to use Seafoam Marine Pro in the fuel for my 961 vs. the original Seafoam? I bought 8 gallons of ethanol free fuel. Used 4 gallons and pre mixed with 2 stroke oil for my outboard. Added about the recommended amount of the Marine Pro to that and have 10 oz. left...

    New project

    That was it Sean. Got it out and ran it around a bit today. Throttle holds steady loaded and stays the same after I depress the clutch. Thanks for your help.

    New project

    Thanks Sean! After reading your reply, I starting checking over the linkage's and springs. Found the governor compensator spring by the bell crank disconnected. By some act of God, it was still under there and never fell off during transport here. I have it hooked up now and hope that may be the...

    New project

    Picked up another 961 I found last weekend. Pretty straight, solid tractor. Starts fine, idles fine, runs good under load. Only thing I have a problem with is when I push the clutch in to turn or slow down, the engine wants to take off to almost full throttle. I can slow it down with the...

    Repairable? Back blade pivot

    I bought a Deere back blade a while back but I need to repair or replace a few teeth on it if possible. Whatta ya think? Can this be repaired? This part is no longer available from Deere. It's off an old 88. I was thinking just have a machine shop make a whole new top plate with the teeth but...

    Power steering cylinder seal kit

    ust the rod end is leaking some. I believe it's just the wiper seals for the rod. The other end is dry with no leaks.
