Red Kiwi, after selling the loader, I have less than $2500 invested. I'd like to think that I found a really good bargain considering at auction in this area, I've seen them go for over $4500. _________________ 54 Farmall MTA

Bertman, as for the 66 Ford, my son and I are converting it to 4x4. If it's OK with him I'll try to post photos. _________________ 54 Farmall MTA

Very nice tractor!!! It looks great and it also has the IH wide front! So how does it run? Does the TA work? _________________ 1943 Farmall H

Andy, yes the TA works, much to my surprise
Unfortunately the wide front has seen a rough life, the left outer tube has been twisted, the right inner tube has been broken and welded, the center pivot has been broken and repaired. I actually am debating a narrow front, (kinda prefer them)
I also discovered it has the factory hour meter, shows a little under 6300 (wonder if thats original)
The engine runs very smooth and strong!  _________________ 54 Farmall MTA

Same wide front as a 460/560-656 if you wanted to replace it. We have a wide front on our SMTA and it does not turn sharp. _________________ 1936 CASE C
