[AT] FORD 6000 arrived tonight!

[Kevin]

Joe  I had one of them about 10 year ago, it was M&W turbocharged.
And I smoked something in the auto tranny discing with it.  More power than 
the tranny can stand, what I was doing was running in 3-4th gear and wide 
open sticking it up in 6-7th. Get that turbo to cranking out the diesel, fun 
while it lasted:-) Anyways go easy on the tranny and it shold be a good 
tractor.
