I looked at the tractor. It is a Ford 860, Ser. No. 22450 so about 1955. Has all the 860 features, live PTO, etc. In pretty good shape, good sheet metal, etc, new tires, 12V conversion, new battery. Runs very well, oil clean, no smoke, was rebuilt at a tractor supply house in the past year (I'll find out what they did). Hydraulics work very well, no leaks. Implements include old back-shovel/scoop, rear blade, drag, 2-point plow, bush hog & disc. Bush hog and disc are new the past year. Implements in generally good shape. Only thing maybe questionable on it was clutch/tranny (5-speed). When we first started it in neutral the tranny had some "clunking" noise in it, not too bad but noticeable. Clutch pedal seems way out of adjustment, nearly flat to platform even when engaged. There's room for adjustment but don't know if it will change shifting ease. Disengaging clutch does stop tractor, but shifting is accompanied with grinding unless you shift "firm & fast", it then goes readily into gear. Is this normal? All gears work well. Clunking noise disappears when in gear and lessens when warmed up. Price $3500 USD for all, maybe some negotiating room here. Sound good? thanks for any advice.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
