The 5000 is tough as nails. We had a 1966 and I liked it a lot. The JD has a loader, do you need a loader or is it a luxury? Why is the Ford steering loose, tie rod ends or steering box? We had a 265 Ac dairy farm and 3 tractors, 851, 3000, and 5000.

Check around valve stems for corrosion, check pto brake to make sure it shuts the pto off when cold. The weak link is the lucas generator/voltage regulator set up. If it has been converted to alternator it is a plus.

Who owned the ford before? Maybe it was beat to snot, or just needed the engine rebuilt. Offer $7000 cash (lay $100 bills on desk), bet it will be yours. How many buy tractors in the fall just before holdiays? He may have almost a grand tied up in cost just carrying it for a year.
