okay I know some of you guys understand Ford model numbers.
What is difference between 600 and 960?
I know where 2 960 are coming up for sale auction later this month.
they have 4 cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, 3 point hitch, dual hydrauls, row crop tractor.
so what does 960 telling me?
can someone give me a break of their numbers?
