Tractor looks new. Nice size tractor. As the former owner of a 1720 I really like those 20 series compacts.

Blue competition. Almost a Ford?

Father and son rivalry?

My 1950 E27n.
Ive had it 35+ years, Moved soil, shifted stone and hauled trees. Now it pushes snow when it's too wet to blow. She starts right up in all weather.

My 2 works in progress

nwhittemore,

welcome to TBN!!!

Both very interesting tractors. Give us a rundown on both including any history you might know. Looks like the second one was setup to run duals. I've never saw rear wheels quite like those.

Thanks for the pics and any information you offer.

1964 Fordson Super Major and 1983ish ford 7600 turbo . Purchased the Super about 3 months ago and just started the restoration actually painted it today . And the 7600 was bought new by my grandfather but caught fire when I was 12 or 13 and has been sitting in the woods since . I just pulled it out after realizing how stupid easy diesel engines are to rebuild after breaking down the super major and it shall be my winter project since Im now done refurbishing the super major.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted on both projects. Hope you cherish the 7600. How fortunate you are to have it. I look forward to the restoration of that one!!!!

Here's a project my Son's working on. Got this tractor from a friend. It originally belonged to the friend's Grandpa. It's definitely a work in progress on a very small budget. It was originally a Select-o-speed tractor. Sometime in it's life that system got replaced with a 5 speed from an 8xx series. It's a 901. He just finished splitting it to replace the clutch.

He needs to find a couple lugs that latch the adjustable rear wheels. Anyone know a source for these?? He's got two different numbers, appear to be the same lug, maybe different parts source? Here's pics of the tractor, and the lugs.

P.S. This tractor is a "gold" tractor originally. Anyone know what that means?? Little trivia quiz about Ford tractors.....

Coming along Very nicely- It is gonna look great!

SCORE
901
9 -row crop
0??? my book does not show a middle#0
relates to transmission 1 (SOS, no PTO,) 7 (SOS, 3 point and PTO,) 8 (SOS 2 speed live PTO and 3 point)

1- last digit -all tractors of the series

Yes Gold Ford Select-o-Speeds were (Demonstrators) sent to select dealerships to show off the attributes of the Select-o-Speed Power shift trans and new improvements in Fords 100 series line It also should have the large 172 cubic inch engine- 800 and 900 series.

Great Find Gold versions Are/were RARE... Not sure of the value - but if it were mine I would run as is and keep trying to find a functioning correct SOS and then restore and Paint in the original Gold Demonstrator color- That is a Valuable tractor once restored -imo and :2cents:

You nailed it Dan!!!

I agree about the resto. My Son values details like this. He's already looking for an SOS. Found a complete 961 at Worthington's salvage yard. Is inquiring about parts there.

sd455dan · Oct 16, 2017

:drink:

Yeah- he scored for sure...

here's a little vid of a finished 971 SOS

Pretty cool ovrszd!

Turbys_1700 · Nov 22, 2017

Got out the 4610 today a did a little hogging.

Bought this 1958 961 off my wife’s grandfather when he was downsizing. He was at least the second owner as he bought it at a dealer quite a while ago. It shows just shy of 700 hours but the tach has been replaced at some point so the actual hours are unknown. Here is a recent picture with me and my son and one my in laws took at least 30 years ago.

Wow, really cool!
