scored a gem

[put'n the dog on]

 I was out the other day with a buddy just cruising back roads when I saw this beauty. I went back and the guy only wanted $300 for it. Everything works except for one fertilizer hopper. It's bound up once I get that fixed she should be ready to go. It should work out since I'm behind this year and still don't have my corn in. The father-in-law and I were going to plant five acres of beens for the deer this year too. No sweat now. It's a Ford 12-88 made right here in Birmingham MI. Made between 1950-51 I believe. Nice to save an antique, especially one from close to home.

Can't help but grin when I drive past old equipment still being utilized today.  Good for you on the find and keeping that piece of machinery out of retirement!

That's a great find; should provide for plenty of 'interesting' tinkering.

Do you have a tractor from the same period to go with it?

No. It looks real old behind my kubota.
