I have a couple of Fords, a 9N and 881D. I know a little about Fords but nothing about Internationals. I've gotten frustrated looking for a FEL to put on one of my Fords. While searching I found a guy who has an old International with a loader on it. 4 cylinder gas. He does not know the model or year. He has told me it does not have a 3 point and he doesn't think it has a PTO. That's ok with me since all I need is something to move dirt, debris, and do some landscaping. What he does know: He was using it last year and something "moved" in the front end causing the pump shaft to turn red hot and break. The motor still runs fine so he parked it figuring to get time to fix it later. Now a year later he just wants to sell it. He says it is a good size tractor with a healthy loader (except for the pump) with power up, down, and dump. It has a 55 gal drum filled with concrete on the back as a counterweight. He's asking $1000.00 for it. I'm going to look at it this week. I welcome and appreciate all advice, considerations, cautions, and recomendations with what to look for and what to watch out for when I go look. How can I identify it? I only know the basics on things to check out. Water in oil or oil in radiator, leaks, and general condition. I'll post more after I've looked at it. With this limited information does it sound like a good deal? Possibly how much to repair or replace the pump? Again all input is appreciated. Thanks, Eric

The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
