Thanks for the reply. That is about the number I had in my head too. The tractor really is in nice shape and runs very well.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out on the web about this series.Thanks for the help

Uh.. there are reams and reams of info about that series and tractor on the net. IMHO.. fords are one of the most supported tractors online.

I've paid 1500-3500 fro rowcrops. that one sounds like a 2000$ unit

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure there is a bunch of info out there, but so far I've only searched tractor forums. When I do a search for "ford 901 or 961" there is usually only a couple threads that apply.

Thanks for the help. I still have a lot of research to do and need to get service manuals etc. Going to be hooking the trailer up and heading out this weekend to get the tractor so should have some pics up Sunday or Monday.

Something I noticed while searching about these older tractors is hp can be listed as engine, pto, belt, drawbar, and maybe something else i'm forgetting. I know what engine and pto hp are but what about belt. And is drawbar similair to measuring the hp to the wheels on a car?
Thanks

The belt output on these old tractors is another type of pto (uses a belt pulley on the pto shaft). Generally the belt pto is on the side of the tractor usually slightly ahead of the driver's seat.

I have seen what you are talking about at a local fair, they had a tractor running a 6-8" wide belt going to an old baler. It was very cool to see how they used to do things.

Made the trip back with the tractor and finally got the pictures loaded off of my camera.

This is me and my wifes grandfather removing the rear blade.

and this is a shot of the trailer loaded up.

This weekend I am going to have some time to check the tractor out a little better and hopefully do a little mowing with the brush hog.
I'll be getting some better pictures too.

If it checks out as good as it looks, I raising my estimated value. Nice tractor. Ken Sweet
