I bought a 72 a couple of years ago. Its hard to beat the 8/9000 in my book. Guess thats why we have two 9000's and the 8000. Next I want to find one with a cab like your first picture. I love seeing those old pictures. Do you have any of the 6000? [Reply]  [No Email]

We've got a 61, a 63, and a 65 Commander. There is a video of me plowing with the 61 on youtube under 1961 Ford 6000 plowing. It is a red mounted 118 plow that someone cut down to 4 bottoms.

Here is my 9000. I have replace the seat since taking this pic. [Reply]  [No Email]
