    Default How a day turns around

    Went to mow for a customer this morning and ended up in the back of a barn looking at a MF 165 with allied loader and 3pt , Clutch gone ,Power steering finnished and 14'500hrs on the clock .
    He was going to scrap it . I gave him $300 and after an hour or two tinkering managed to drive it the 3 miles home . I think one of my fordson majors are now for sale and i have a new toy to play with this winter!
    Today was a good day ..!

    Probably started in a higher gear (once towed out of the barn). Not much need to shift after that. Once home, throttle down and pull it into neutral.

    Drove a 72 chev pickup for 2 weeks sans clutch just cause the weather was bad (no garage).
