I dunno, needed a single axle dump of sorts, grain trucks sure looked like what would work for what I needed, found one in Michigan, went on a 34 hour non stop tour to go get it and drive it home, nothing locally was worth it and everytime I found something decent, it was sold before I could even see it. Was on a low budget. So, I figured this old F-600 was worth the $1900, nice shape, a 1964, 82,000 miles, drives nice, motor runs great, sheet metal pretty good, will look nice restored. 1 day after I get it home, I see a 1966 on e-bay, in Ohio, little closer, has 48,000 original miles grain truck, has new tires and been inside it's entire life, green, ( love green and the old Fords 61-66, same era of Chevy's too ). Mine has a better dump body, but I was droolin over the green '66, it went for $1500.00 was in ohio and the buyer had no history, feedback etc., sorry I did not bid, but I'll need something a little faster on the highway, so I'll have fun doin a restore on this and upgrading to something more modern after this one earns it's keep. It happens all the time, always a better deal after you buy, not everytime, but enough.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
