Ok fellas, I was at the local tractor shop yesterday.Shop is very sm and out of the way not used by many other than local neighbors. There sat a little ford ?, not a nice piece of sheet metal on it.Tires and rims look good.I ask what was its problem.They say they have been triing to sell it all summer for a gent that has spent weekends in the area for many yrs but now is to old to get around.This thing starts and purrs like a hired girl.No pto shaft but 3pt. Ask what the price was,they say $1000. I am thinking $700 may buy it. I am not looking to use this to farm 100s of acres. Just use the 3pt to dig the garden,and want the wife to have something to drive on a tractor ride.One of my problems is I dont know fords that well.What am I looking for as a weekness or a strength. Sorry I cant give a model.I couldnt find anything to tell me.It is painted red but Im not so sure that wasnt done with a rattle can from the dollar store because it was there.Anything you folks can pass on to me would be greatly appreciated. I dont have the money to throw away but as an investment it would be better than my 401k. Thank you.
 
A little more info would help so we can help ID it and determine if it'll do the job you want.
That said, ANY 'purring' Ford around here STARTS at over TWICE that 1000. ALL of the parts are still available and working on them is too easy.
PTO shouldn't be a problem. MANY of us have 'extras' laying around.
Look in the archives here for pointers as to what to look at/for to evaluate and ID it. #of cylinders?, Flathead? Front or side distributor? Number of gears?
Bottom line for ME is, for a 1000 bucks and running like you say, it'd already be on my trailer. Best of luck. 'N'joy,

If in fact its a Ford did it have a flat head engine or a valve in head engine?? If its a flat head the serial number will be on the left side of the engine about center and just below the head. If a valve in head engine the serial and model number will be on the bell housing just behind the starter and under the battery box on a flat spot. A picture would make it very simple to ID by the way
