Scored a Ford tractor yesterday.

Mid to late 60s Ertyl. Paid $30, worth about $350-$400 restored. All the original parts are available through a company in Madison S.D., less than $100 for everything it needs. I also have a line on a 50s Ertyl Farmall, pretty rare. This is only the second Ford I have seen and a friend is in the process of restoring the other one.

Thats a good find

I'd have killed for one of them when I was a little kid!

cool -- old toys are where it's at

I wouldn't mine the open fanshaft Eska JD A my boss has his grandkids play on....if I was him I would be thinking about putting that up and getting them a new one!

Eska's pretty rare around here. There is a JD about the same vintage on a lawn, I drive past it every day and I know someone is going to lift it eventually. I stopped and tried to buy it but they said it wasn't theirs. I also have an older Ertl Farmall, styled like an H or M. I plan to get them both restored and take them to the steam threshing B in Sept.
