Greetings All,
I just became the care taker of a much neglected 1955 Ford 860. It has been sitting outside for at least 5 years probably more. The price is right so the resurrection begins. I have gotten it started but the power steering assist pump is leaking rapidly so it will be the next to receive attention. It came with a front loader. First priority is mechanical corrections then I will decide just how pretty yo make it.

Welcome to TBN and the forum - moose. You have come to the right place for assistance on your resurrection. By the way - you will find, perhaps, that your location may help in providing answers to future questions.

To TBN Moose. We are glad that you joined.

Is this your first tractor resurrection project? If so, then you should search the threads for others who have done it before to get some tips on how to do it easier.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress with pictures, please.
