I was offered a Ford 4600 today. It wa an estate sale and the son told me that a hired man had hit a tree while brush hogging and that the steering didn't work properly. It wa driven into the shed and parked years ago. He thought that the steering housing was cracked, but we couldn't find any external damage. It had a dead battery, so we didn't try to start it. Overall condition was original paint with normal wear and tear, plenty of dirt from sitting around. Good tires, no loader or other special equipment.
The son offered it to me for $2,500. I have the equipment and talent to remove and replace parts, including splitting the tractor, if necessary. I have a 2N that my grandfather bought new, and have been working on Fords since I was a child. This is probably more tractor than I need, but it seems like a potential good deal.
