Tractor
Kubota L285
A locale junk yard (about 35 miles away) has an add for basically; some old junk tractors, volkswagens, campers ect. I went there today at lunch break and the guys says "yes, we have some plunk tractors scattered around, but we don't know what they are and they are just mixed in with everything else"

I had went to look at a specific tractor from a picture.

I couldn't find it, and I walked entire yard, and couldn't find it. They said "I remember seeing it, but don't know where, don't think we sold it".

Anyone able to tell what it is. I was hoping for a L245-345 Kubota or a 275-355 series. I have a L285, and would love to scavenge a loader that would worn for cheap with few modifications.

They did have an L260 spray tractor (an odd duck), MF65, a Ford 601, and a Farmall Cub.

$2 admission to look, but disorganized as all heck. But good exercise, some cool stuff, and not a bad time. Had several bush hogs, hundreds of trucks, a 12 ton track hoe bucket, several loader root rakes, a Lull off road forklift, and a smaller good condition New Holland with loader (too new for my pocket) which they said wasn't being parted out.

Not sure what model it is and even though it's orange when I magnify the picture it says Ford on the loader.

Console looks Ford-ish too

Man I wish that place was by me. I need some of those things and don't have much money

As does the ROPS. I've never seen that style on any other than a Ford.

Ok, the ROPs had me, cause I'd never seen what I would call Generation 1 and 1B Kubotas with a ROPs.

Edit: farm tractor,s and parts. is the link to the add if anyone is interested

Most certainly a ford. My guess is a 3000-series industrial. IE 3400/3500/3550

It's a Ford 3400.
You can tell by the front axle and 8 on 6" rear lug nut patter.
It's basically a 3000 with a heavy front axle.

Dang, that actually would have been a real nice machine if it was saveable. Oh wrll, I don't have the time, or money for another project anyways.
