Looks like a nice bit of work there. Good find!

Had the 165 running yesterday..been sitting a couple of years.....smokes a bit, hope that clears up.

Good thing you found those....
If I would have found them first, I would have brought them home. Funny how that works out. Good luck with them. I've had a number of the 145s. I would like to find one of the 165s. Looks like a heck of a find.

Just one of those things that amaze me to this day. The newer ones have far more attachments available than the older ones but the older ones seemed to be just about indestructible. Throw a little fuel and oil their way and they did well for what they were used for. Yea I really intensely like my new diesel but also miss the days of riding the old Fords around the yard and garden. Ahh well, enjoy the new finds there.

Managed to get my Ford family together today for a family photo......Big brother 165 couldnt make it, is in the hospital awaiting a transplant.

The rest of the family is here.......please ignore the green haired step child on the left, he snuck into the picture

Back in the barn for the night

Nice collection.

I wish I had room for more Fords, but I'll have to sell off some stuff first.

Since I last posted in this thread, I have rebuilt both the 16 hp and 14 hp Kohlers in these 2 tractors.....threw a bit of paint at them, nothing fancy. They are ready to do snow duty now.
