While I love you folks (not in that way) on the board, the big reason, I wouldn't be so big on trading is loading the tractor on the trailer and taking it to from Tennessee to West Virginia. Mine isn't factory original condition, either. Fixing it up if it hasn't got resale value was the problem I refered to in this thread. The clutch will need replacing soon, there is a buch of decay on the hood, the hydraulics need some attention and the mechanical fuel supply pump was replace (though I have no reason why) with an electrical pump. Though there wasn't any trouble when I last started it up, early summer or so, it looks like the guy before me had been running that starter into the ground. It looks like it has overheated. I don't have any grief fixing it up and either selling or using it, but it would anger me greatly to put a lot of time and money into it, try to sell it and find that like the other 990's I see online, I can't get what I'll have to put into it. That's the big draw with the 8N Ford. I can find them everywhere for under a grand. The parts are also everywhere cheap, and when the tractor is complete, I can get $3500-$4000 for it. If I do a good paint with a shiny red, and am willing to haul it north, I can often get more. I realize that the 8N Ford doesn't have more power than this 990. Most of my metal is fair to reasonable, except the hood. The engine is good, and the prices I see these for sale suggest that I would get $4000 for this, but I was worried that I could go through that much restoring it. As far as the paint goes, 8N red and grey can come from TSC, and with a gloss hardener, it still isn't that much. The colors for Case are very distinct, especially the Flambeau Red.
