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.

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.

It looks great and it also has the IH wide front! Cool

Andy, yes the TA works, much to my surprise Very Happy

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) Very Happy

The engine runs very smooth and strong! Very Happy

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.
