Picked up the ford 851 Sunday. Unloaded the equipment and rolled the tractor off the trailer. My wife says get a temporary gas tank and battery..... What about the carb??? No jets no venturi..... She got a spare 8n carb off the parts shelf and bolted it on. Cleaned the points and it ran!! For 10-15 seconds a couple times. Sold the Bush hog, back blade and box blade. Made all my money back. Free tractor!! And a piece of equipment still to sell. Good $650 investment?

Sounds like your cutting Tracy Brown out as the middleman.

Like I told you last night, we are fortunate to have wives that like tractors and hate to see them be sold.

Did ya find a radiator yet? Seems I read earlier somebody may have stolen it, but I'm getting old & may have day-dreamed it.

FLOLDFORD · Nov 3, 2020

Check your email. You have a carburetor coming.

grandpa Love · Nov 3, 2020

FLOLDFORD, thank you! That's awesome. Can't wait to get the right carb on and make it go back to work! Lol. Emailed you back.

I have a ford 640 radiator in the barn. It's got a small hole. But easy to fix

grandpa Love · Nov 3, 2020

This one will probably stay here... It's a Ford!
