Any idea what it sold for? Or the asking price?
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

No, I was watching wood fence posts. Son Jake went to buy a corn planter.
It might be listed here?

Dad had one of those and a 4000SuperUtility, a little 53 horse tractor, that did all he needed it to do. Dad had a small place, though, compared to others around there.

It's amazing and a testament to how well these were built that they're still in use, along with allot other old iron.

I have an 841 with a factory Ford front end loader. It's super handy around our acreage.
I don't eat anything that didn't have a mother.

I sort of grew up running a ford NAA with hydrophilic loader.

A friend of mine has an 8N for sale in Dyment. It might be a 9. If you're interested I can get his contact information to you.

I had a 63 model grey hood 4000 that I really liked. Basically the same tractor as the 801, 841/61. It was perfect for what I was using it for.. I really liked the seat vs. control location, the power & size was just right. But it had a bunch of hours on it got to the point it was going to need more work than it was worth so I traded it for a new, similar specked Kubota. I never took to it & got rid of it, & went to an older JD. I still miss the Ford.
Selecto-speeds are neat as hell IMO, when they're right. Some love 'em some hate 'em, but I found they're really handy. But, parts are getting scarce, & maybe even scarcer are the mechanics that know how to "correctly" repair them. They even require special tools that are scarce a well.
A good hobby unit, but working one hard is gonna get tougher as they keep getting older..

Those older tractors are better than nothing. But with no low range and no live pto those old tractors are hard to get along with.
