I drove up to Burgh Implements this morning in western PA and met up with the guy who said he could haul my tractor.
It all went very smoothly, he had an F550 with a flat bed and it loaded very easily, it took less than 15 minutes to load the tractor. I paid $1000 for the tractor, and I am very happy about it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
