I recently sold my '63 Ford 601 because it took too much TLC. So I need something to grade my 400' drive and carry things around, that doesn't need constant upkeep.
RK 55HC,ym1700, NH7610S, Ford 8N, 2N, NAA, 660, 850 x2, 541, 950, 941D, 951, 2000, 3000, 4000, 4600, 5000, 740, IH 'C' 'H', CUB, John Deere 'B', allis 'G', case VAC
get another 601 series that is better maintained
I go hop on my 1955 ford 950 every week, flipt he fuel on, hit the starter and go mow. it gets a yearly oil change and needs to be gassed when it gets used. I check the oil before starting it. havn't checked points in it since i got it a few years ago.
get a machine.. fix it's problems.. give it the correct maint and use it. old or new.
