So that's pretty much it for pictures, for today at least. I'll be heading back up there a couple / few more times to do some basic maintenance things to it and try to figure out the 3pt hydraulics problem.

The top of the fuel tank is pretty badly rusted from those darn mice so I'll have to start looking for a good used replacement. I'd go new but having been out of work since Oktober I've really gotta be as thrifty as I can.

Hope y'all enjoyed some of those pictures, and man if you have any ideas or suggestions on what to look for or tips on things I should be doing now after she's been sitting so long, I wanna hear 'em!

Sounds like you have a solid machine.

Thanks for the pics! I enjoyed the thread. I said something to my wife and she said she was glad you found it before I did or there would be another one in the garage/yard. Though I have a new Kubota I love the old fords and have had a few off and on through the years to play with. But people keep sweet talking me into selling them!
Keep us posted when you put her to work!

Looks to be in nice shape. Plow adds about $500/$600 to the tractor. If you can lift the blade with the hydraulics to get it out of the barn then there's probably not much wrong with the three point, same system. You have a sherman combo. Push down for low and back towards operator for high. To access regular gear put lever in middle neutral detent then move the lever outward away from the body of the tractor. It will come out about 3/8" to 1/2" than move the lever back toward the operator, This will give you your regular standard gears. You can also look into red coating the gas tank, might save you a couple of bucks also a used tank in good condition from someone parting out a tractor.
Good luck with your new tractor
