Hello all, i recently bought a little ford 600 (or so i'm told) with a hydraulic front loader, (tubed design) 4 speed trans, 3 point lift with blade, and chains for the tires. I got it for $2800. He said the hydraulics were a little slow when pitching the bucket. I took it home and discovered the hydraulic fluid was low, so i put a gallon in, and it all leaked out of the hydraulic frame because of a crack. So i said alright, i can weld that up no problem. Then, because this tractor didn't come with fenders, one of my chain links came undone and ripped my hydraulic line and broke the fitting. There was a knock when he started it up to show me, but he said the bucket and loader were too heavy for the tractor so the fan was bangin on the housing. Do you guys think i paid too much for it? He said it was a ford 600 and he believed it was from 1947, but they didnt make the 600 series back then i thought....maybe he meant 57? who knows. there is no hood emblem, and I cant seem to identify the serial number. this pic http://home.att.net/~jmsmith45/id/800serialloc.jpg shows the location of the serial number for the 600 series but i cant seem to locate it.. they says its "left side of your tractor (above the starter). They are embeded in a flat plate on the main frame below your ignition switch" do they mean left hand side when your sitting on the tractor? or as if your looking head on with the tractor. because i cant find any damn number on this thing, and im wondering if i got stiffed on this deal. Much help please! -Rob
