Bought another Ford Tractor

[Ultradog MN]

I saw this on CL this morning so I emailed them my phone #. They called me back and I went to have a look. Price was right so I bought it.
I've been looking for one of these to mow my lawn here in town.
I didn't want one of the bigger ones - 11-14 hp
This one is only a 7 hp Briggs. Smokes a little but starts and runs good. 32" cut.
Kenny had to come over to see it. He's already jealous...

6V or 12V? Front mount or side mount? We can't help you until you give us all of the details.
Both of my sons work at a restaurant in town and they were open today so we went and ate there. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Neat little horse.Just a little smaller than the Hebard A21 shop mule I bought last week.Thought I would explore the red side again.

I used this board as a bargaining tool today.
Had him off his asking price by $25 but when I reached into my wallet I only had half of the dough.
And he was shying away from my check.
So I asked him to bring his laptop out and go to ytmag.com and directed him here to this board.
Showed him my handle and a couple of posts then had him do a search for ultradog on the board here. Dunno how they figure it but there's 16,000+ hits.
Told him to save this site and if my check wasn't good to come on here and badmouth me. I'd give him his asking price too.
One or the other did the trick...
It was a good day. Got up early and went to work for a couple of hours. Got home and found this thing then went to my sister's to top it off.
I feel blessed by all three things plus this great board to talk about it. I hope for everyone here that your day went as well.

I was thinking you'd gotten that $3000 4000 SOS.
Looks like it's in nice shape. My uncle had the LT110 years ago - 11 h.p. Briggs, 48" deck. I bet an 11 h.p. would fit - make it like your 201-powered 3000.

You bought a couple of Ford LGTs last year didn't you? What are you doing with yours anyway?
I showed that sos ad to Kenny the other day but he just grumped about it. He was more excited about this one.

That 4000 has been tempting me as a temporary fill-in until I have my 4600 back in action. There's also another 4600 I have my eye on for that purpose, too. Probably won't get either, but...
I was temporarily up to 5 of the tube-frame LGT's last spring. I sold a repairable 165 and a parts 165 and several attachments to a guy from Missouri. The late model 145 that I posted a picture of Luke driving is the one I have working right now. Still a couple small things to fix on it, but it works as-is. I still have a late model 165 and an early 145 to fix. Won't be doing anything on them until the 4600 is done and paid for. With what I sold off last spring, I think I have about $600 in the remaining 3 LGT's, 3 decks, and a dozer blade. And that little 3.5 h.p. Ford tiller.

doesn"t someone make parts to make these look like 8n fords? keep thinking about getting just for the ford name.
