Ford 445A industrial tractor anyone??

[GSSFC]

Anyone have one of these or know the specs on them? I am looking to buy one, but cannot find ANYTHING online about them.

I'm looking for operating weight, horsepower, lift capacity etc.

Seems there are all over the place, but information is scarce!

Thanks in advance, Tim

Thanks CrazyCarl.

The one I am looking at is 4wd and has a fully enclosed cab. I am glad to hear it is about 10K as I will be able to haul it on my trailer as needed. The seller indicated it did "not have a live PTO". I am awaiting clarification, but does this mean it does not have a PTO at all, or are there different styles.

The lift capacity is impressive. I get deliveries of 55 gallon drums 4 to a pallet net weight about 2200 pounds. It will be nice to have the ability to unload an entire pallet at a time.

Thanks for your time. Tim

Not sure how many different pto's were offered..but I got a picture of one with no pto here.

CrazyCarl speaks the truth. Those machines are beasts with no present machine on the market even close to its equal. It is a shame that emissions laws drove those Ford industrials off of the market.

My dream machine would be a later model 545D with the turbo engine.

I agree! This is mine. Just remember that they are "beast" to trailer around too.
