Joe, In order to straighten out the hydraulics, you really need to buy the service manual. Jensales FO-S-6000 is the manual identification. If you decide to part it out, I need sheet metal parts among other items. Good Luck!

> Thanks for all the tips.? I went over today in the sleet and rain and got it loaded up and hauled it to my place (the disengage level was a little hard to find, but without it, that tractor wasn't rolling anywhere).? I'm going to leave it on the trailer until the weather improves.? I would be more concerned if I?hadn't driven the tractor a couple of years ago, so I know if will run and move just fine.?It's too bad they were such a problem tractor for Ford, I think they kind of look cool.? Mine has a wide front end, and an original Ford loader, the biggest problem is the hydraulics are all cobbled up, mainly from someone not knowing what they were doing.? It came with an original opperators manual and an IT manual, so my plan is to try and get the hydraulic put back to the way they were before it left the factory and drive it around a bit.? It will be a good spring project as it's not supposed to get above the 20's for the next week or so.? I really didn't need another proj!
