For light loader work a Ford was good.
No power steering,
Probably only has "up" hydraulics. Down is gravity, bucket is "dump".
Heavy work will cause problems.


For pulling, look for a JD "A" or a Farmall "H" from the same era.
Slightly less power, 1000 pounds heavier, they will drag a Ford around like nothing.

You never see any 8 or 9n tractors at tractor pulls. There is a reason.
A John Deere "B" at half the hp (12) will kick a Fords ass.

And no, I am not a green fanboy. Just facts.

Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
