Thanks Brian, I plan on talking to the owner again soon and seeing where he is really going to end up on the price. This was another road find for me. I take different roads when I am out and about and spotted this one pushed off in the weeds in a fencerow. Hasn't been cranked in over a year .Enquir...

Tmac, you are correct on the cost vs. benefit anlaysis. And I sort of like the old ugly thing. I think it would be beneficial to me and also something I could set right again without to much pain. The year is just another piece of the puzzle to me though. I looked on the front axle and found these #...

Back to the tractor once again, Maybe I will find something useful soon. Thanks for the help. I love this board already. It even has me thinking about tracking down a 58 Dexta to restore like we used to have.

That is a great looking job. I was noticing that your shop looks like it might have been a chicken house judging from what look like Lubing nipple drinkers and the feed line augers on the wall. I have 2 40'x500' and 1 40'x830' houses that we raise replacement pullets in. My wife says she will be gla...

Thanks for all the info. I think this might be a good candidate still for restoring. I plan on using it in my chicken houses if I can Buy it right. Guy said he wanted his money back out of it which is about $1900. Only thing is that it has a rear tire that was shot by vandals and is now flat. Rears ...

Henk, thanks for the picture. That is exactly what it looks like. But I think that it may be a mixture of tractors. The guages are beneath the steering wheel but I do not remember about the throttle. I will try to get a better look. Is the new or power major much less desirable than the Super. Does ...

Thanks for the replies. The 3pt lift control on this one is turned 90 degrees to the one in your picture. Also the brake housings? stick out past the fenders a bit. Looks like it was solid blue also with maybe creme colored grill. I still have not found the serial # but plan on looking again. If I c...
