I called the (deceased) owners son. It is a Ford 800 series, he doesn't know model or year. Has a pro-rebuilt engine in past year, new battery, new rear tires. Comes with a 3-pt. hitch, rear scoop, snow plow, disk, 2-bottom plow, and brush hog. The brush hog is a rear-mount (maybe that's all they made then?) that he says has heavy rotary blades that will cut big brush real well. His father bought it a year+ ago, had it rebuilt and used it little before passing away. Says he has manuals for it. Been kept in a garage. Pictures look very nice, is supposed to run good & hydraulics & stuff all supposed to work. Don't know tranny but hoping not the dreaded one. Asking $3500 USD OBO. Also has a trailer, twin axle, new oak bed, new tires, 20' by wide enough to haul cars with, I imagine he used it to haul the tractor but not sure. Asking $500 for that. From what I can gather, not bad prices if in order and I'll try to bargain as I'm new to tractor land. I'm going to look at it tomorrow with a guy who knows/owns old tractors, that should help. If I buy it I've then got to figure out how to haul it 800 miles to camp, this will more than max my truck out with the implements! I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
