What do u guys think of the old ford 8n's? I have 1 basicly for odd jobs and snow plowing. mine has a industrial loader and a 7 foot old ass meyer plow that goes onto the bucket mounts and has full power angle from the bucket tilt hyd line. how much do u think i could get for it? enough for a diesel tractorw/ 4wd?
thanks in advance -dave :C)
