[AT] Ford 600's

Wow a pair of 600s...nice! My first tractor was a '55 Ford 660 with a Wagner 
loader. I paid $3200 for it and sold it 2 years later for $3500. I really like 
them, especially without the loader. They are about 32 HP and all have live 
hydraulics. The model number and serial number should be stamped on a flat spot 
on the block just aft of the starter. The model number will tell you if it is 
4 or 5 speed, SOS, and if it has a live PTO. They are great little tractors 
for mowing, grading, or anything the requires a 3-pt. hitch.

Heck, if he takes $500 a piece, grab them! They are worth way more than that 
for parts.

Good luck!

<< I was shown a pair of Ford 600's today that were used for many years in a 
 cherry orchard in northern Michigan and parked in a barn four years ago 
after 
 they cut down all the trees and got out of the farming business.  Both of 
the 
 tractors are complete with good rubber, three point hitches, ect.  He drove 
them 
 in the barn, but makes no claim as to their mechanical condition (although 
 they both look MUCH better than the other tractors I have dragged home in 
the 
 past).  The owner is willing to entertain an offer since the barn they are 
in is 
 in eminent danger of being leveled to construct a new Buisness park.
 
 I know nothing about Fords.  Anyone care to throw out a reasonable price 
 range for these 600's?  I am thinking about starting @ $500.00 for each and 
see 
 what he says, so far he has accepted every offer I made for the rest of the 
 stuff I bought from him today, so he seems pretty willing to get stuff 
moving (It 
 helps that his wife wants him to give stuff away, not sell it, but I had to 
 give him something).  Are these are "valuable" as the N-series?
 
 Thanks for your input. I can price most row-crops, but Fords always throw me 
 off.
 
 Enjoy, Joe >>
