Mattias71 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 At last, a real tractor on the yard! I found the Ford on a farm a bit up north from where I live. Talked to the owner abd yes he would sell... Went back home and taking a pounder, and after that I sold my Volvo BM (crap) and went back to the farm and yes, I bought the Ford!!! It looked like H**l, broken lights and badly damaged paintwork allover etc, etc... But I drove her the 40 kilometers home without any problems. Short after that I spended a weekend in the workshop, and with a bucket of Ford blue, some new lights and decals, here she is, my new love! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattias71 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 looking good, i thought you were a volvo fan though? :) Youre right, Im very found of Volvo tractors, but prefered to the Ford its stone age comfort, and a very weak powershift.
