Here are a few pictures of my recently acquired 1970 Ford 4110 LCG. I paid $1,999.00. It runs great. The hour meter says 1242, but it's probably broken. The engine starts great, runs smooth; no smoke. Changed the engine oil, waiting until I run it long enough to warm up the transmission fluid so I can change that.  |

Nice find.
Heavy, powerful and LCG, it will make a GREAT mowing tractor, and you stole it.
The MM sickle bar mower is quite unusual and probably valuable to someone if you do not need it.
FWIW, it will likely be around years after the orange tractors in the background are rusting away in some graveyard.
If you need a new grill for it, I might have a lead on a NOS one at my local CNH dealer.

My thoughts exactly Dean! These pictures are from the dealer that i bought it from. I do not know anything about the MM sickle bar. I am going to take it off as soon as weather permits. I work outside with no garage.I have a 5ft old beat up woods brush hog to cut with. It is heavy and powerful.Yes you have a good eye. I will need a new lower front grill. Mice had built a nest behind that one.The plastic has some holes in it. The tach works and gas gauge and temp gauge and the idiot lights. Just have not got the hour meter to change yet. Have not gone far in the snow with it.I have a 1949 8n but this is going to be my new tractor for brush hogging. Thanks again for the positive remarks about my new purchase. I dont get lucky very often. George |

Nice buy! LCG's bring less than equivalent ag
tractors, but it still would have been at least a
time and a half that much here. |

Great find! and at a good price. I have always wanted one of the LCG Fords. There was quiet a few here in Florida but most were used year round and are pretty much used up. I few years I decided that if I couldn't buy one I'd build one I started with good 50 8N and used the front outside axles off of a 2000 LCG 12'' fronts like on yours and 16'' rears off of a FMC grove sprayer. It's about 6'' lower than stock.Got a belly mower for it just haven't got around to putting on. You will love that tractor when you start mowing with it this summer twice the power of your N and live hydraulics to boot I you were closer I try to talk you out of it

Your tractor will play with a 6' mower in just about all conditions and will handle a mounted twin spindle 8' cutter in most. It will do almost 3X the work that your 8N will do and the LCG model is equally at home on steep ground.
Let me know if you need a grill. My local dealer is moving and is selling (cheap) old stock that they do not want to move. I bought two NOS grills for 63-64 *000 tractors and I believe that I saw a plastic grill to fit yours on the pile.

Wow! She is a beauty! My 8n looks nothing like that.I love the look of those flotation tires on the N. Looks nice and beefy.Will not tear up lawns either. Nice wide stance. I will try and get some pictures up from where i brush hog. As a kid i would ride a sled down the hills. I have done the entire thing on an 8n. Drive around and come straight down. This was a tractor that did not get abused much! It was a city tractor for roadside mowing only. The city traded it and a John Deere 301 for a new tractor.It has not been used much recently but starts and runs great. George |

Looks good. Great price too.
I put a set of those short spindles on my 3000 in order to get the nose lower for mowing. |

That sickle mower will do any thing a bush hog will do. It will cut weeds grass and small shrubs. You might be surprised as you will like it if you use it. |

I gave $3000 for my 2000 LCG so you got a heckuva deal! Mine was a mowing tractor at a golf course.
Here is the before pic
Here is a relatively current pic...
Put 7.50-16's on the front to overcome the short spindles. I use it for ag use here (raking hay and square baling) so don't need the big tires. Got stuck in the mud way too many times with the big fat tires in these parts.
Make someone a heck of a deal on the tires...still have all 4. Also have the manifold for the down exhaust.

Hey it looks like Orchard Hill Farm Eq. How was that guy to deal with? Had my eye on a Kubota there, but it was repainted, and I"m wary of not so old tractors that have been repainted so pretty. |

I wish you were close to Florida I'd take those tires and wheels of your hands just to have another set. I built the centers on my 8N LCG and I didn't get them as centered as I wanted. |

Hey FLOLDFORD - as much as I like the stance of your '50, I've got some doubts about a belly mower. I mow w/an 8N on 13.6-28 turf tires and it's a near thing to the middle pulley on my Woods L59. I can't run the belt guard or even lift the deck for transport. It does fine work (quality wise) though |
