[Ford-ferguson] 8N + Loader Value

[SZakaluk at aol.com]

Dave, I've had a 1951 Ferguson TO-20 with Wagner loader (I think  model 
WM-3) since 1990. (It's essentially the same machine you're asking about,  but 
the Harry Ferguson version.) I put a five foot, 1/4 yard bucket on it,  
replacing the narrow manure bucket it had originally. Will send photo  
separately.
 
I use it for snow removal, moving rocks and dirt. It can lift a half ton,  
but that's more than it's designed for. The other comments are correct, but 
if  it's just for personal use, and the hydraulic hoses are in good shape, 
it would  bring $2500-3000 here in CO. (Lots of five acre ranchettes looking 
for this kind  of machine.)

Looked at an 8N with loader at a dealer  today.

Extremely clean + straight.
Restored some time ago + kept  inside.
New rear tires.
One obsessive owner for last 40  years.

Loader is the kind that the round tube frame is the  tank.
Loader works very fast, 3pt holds well after shut off.

Really  nice machine.

Value?
