</font><font color="blue" class="small">( A real apples to apples comparison eh? You'll notice i specifically said tc 30. Also.. I was comparing tractor to tractor.. not tractor to loader- tractor-loaded tires-wheel, frame, 3pt weights.. etc.

If you'd taken the time to look instead of trying to show us how much you know, you'd see that I was not responding to you at all, Soundguy. PZ... said he was looking at a TC35 or TC40 and in another post several days ago he said he wanted a loader. Clearly, I was making a comparison based on what this gent asked. I made no reference to your TC30 comparison because it was out of context to what was asked. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I told PZ... a couple of days ago that the tractor was not a Jubilee, but because of his grandfather's insistance, I wanted him to look at the serial number. I was sure that would clear up any doubt, and it has. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

WRONG! The 8N weighed 2410 lb and the Jubilee weighed 2510 lb. That's about 2500 lb as I said. Those are Ford's numbers and include air only in the tires and all other liquids. The weight of the operator is NOT included (Ford's words, not mine).
The model 640 tractor had minor improvements over the Jubilee, but like the Jubilee, it had a 4-speed transmission and it did not have a live PTO.
Soundguy, you are a smart guy and you've learned a lot about the old Fords in the short amount of time you have owned them. I know you mean well, and I just don't understand why you think you have to find some way to disagree with me. If you do it and you are wrong, I am going to respond. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
