An F40 on the cover was shocking! Half the issue was pictures of F40's!! Then I was shocked again to find there are atleast 4 more F40's on the emerald isle???
So now I feel bad. I told Clodagh McKenna the fellow that puts tractor parts in cooking ovens was the only guy to own one... now the poor girl will have to interogate several F 40 owners till see finds Sam... all my fault...

TONY actually almost two F 40s on the front cover.

Hey Richard, I was checking out some 'potentially fergie' stuff today, and the guy said he had a high crop MF65 AND F40 in a tobacco barn.... both in original condition.... I was in no hurry to go home... but he never let me in the barn... was he just teasing me? Then my feet were getting cold, so I gave up. But I'll be back!!!

I would bet you didn't ask him to see them did you? Shucks if you would have asked I would bet he would let you see them then you could have gotten your feet warmed up. Next time you go looking you should put shoes or boots on. LOL

Tony Are the 40's rare up North? They were common in Tx. I have 5. Have a neighbor that still use's his and won't sell(original).There is a HC about 50 miles from me for sale for $2200, looks good and has original paint.On craigs list for East Texas. There come up on Craigs list often. I know of two across river in Oklahoma for sale.

Hi Sam and a happy new year Is the F40 at Gamston near Retford Nottinghamshire on your list. I think you took a photo of it at the Newark tractor show. MJ

I think he doesn't sell stuff often, and really just doesn't want to show his 'valuable items' to strangers... I can dig that.... but.... next time I go there, I will bring a bottle of good scotch, in Christmas wrapping paper..then I bet he'll show me the goodies!
He doesn't know what he wants to keep, sell, how much... but when my barn burnt down with all my goodies in it, I wished I had sold all of it for peanuts before then! cause that's what the insurance company gave me for it...

I used to think so Mikey, until a year ago, I only knew of 2, one not for sale at any price near Hartford Conn, other in Catskills area for 5 grand, rotten tires sunk in the ground and no tranny fill cap since the last millenium. So I bought the third I ever heard of, thanks to Richard L and his Craigslist search engine!
Since then, Dan P knows of 2 or 3, one of those for sale near him, a couple on Albany NY area Craigslist this year, and a couple in Vermont- does VT parts have them? But until I took one home... they didn't exist... another Murphy law thing I guess.
Tell ya, I am not impressed with the steering on mine, I can see how narrow or single wheel would be ok but mine needs a heavy implement in back, or hire a couple illegals ???
