Would be a project to keep me busy during the winter! http://sacramento.craigslist.org/grd/3413042116.html Lee [Reply]   [No Email]

Once you have power steering you will never go back. Only drawback I can see is it only has the 4 sp tranny. Notice the extra heavy front axle. The rear axle on those industrial models is extra stout too. [Reply]  [No Email]

I can't tell if the tires are checked, but the tread looks decent. If it were close I'd go look it over and see what he'll take! [Reply]  [No Email]

Just do it. Transportation is the main cost on this deal. I would guess its something he wants out of his hair. [Reply]  [No Email]

I agree with Bob G.,......make an offer on that one!!!! Looks are decieving...a little rough, but with an extra block, to work with....you could just have a 5-6000 dollar tractor, when you finish up!!! I had a chance to do an M/S carb for a local here, and he had a 2000 ford!!! Man, what a power-house that was.!!!!!! Big industrial back-hoe, and a hugh front bucket, on it!! I ran the back-hoe, for awhile after installing the carb......Half throttle, and the engine didn't even grunt.!!!!!!!! Dug a 6' hole in about 20 min's with it. Take the chance.........GO FOR IT!!!.......JMHO!!! GB :wink: [Reply]  [No Email]
