Thanks, BBJ. Just like kids, it's hard to keep them clean long enough to take their picture. They just wanna go play in the dirt./w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I love my TC45D, but $-4-$, that Ford Jubilee is just an amazing machine. The fact that my NH dealer still carries parts for it is also amazing /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif. Of course, the biggest replacement Item I've had on it is one lift-arm. Oh yes, I did have to replace tires with mesquite thorns in them last year, but they were 45 years old, so it was about time, don't you think?/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

JimI, I agree with you about the Ford Jubilee./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif People don't realize what these old tractors are capable of. I have a 1951 Ferguson, and so far I've been amazed at what it can do. I also can't get over how perfect a 50 year old tractor can perform!/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

My dad bought a TO-20 new in 1951 (for $895 I think) because the dealer told him the overhead valves were much better than the flathead on the 8N Ford. Well, that tractor is still in our family (my oldest brother) since my father passed away in 1995. I love the rear/differential brake pedals on each side and that hood that opens forward. Their elegance is their simplicity and their functionaltity is their value. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
