There has been an old Fordson - Pre 1938 I guess, siting as a "sign" in front of a now defunct construction company for years, just about a mile from my house. I am thinking about asking the owner if he is interested in selling it. From what little I have gather from this web site, I guess it is a US F model. It is mostly there, from a brief gander the obviouis problems are A 3 inch hole front top of motor - water pump and fan missing I assume; Gas tank rotted to heck - difficult to find I gather (can they be made?); missing whatever it is that you rest your left foot on; peg or brake or clutch pedal?? My father, brother and I are into Ford tractors that we have restored (9n, 8n, two NAAs, 841, and a Sears & Roebuck Model A converstion to tractor. My overall question is, are parts for these machines much harder to find than the more modern Fords? It would be a neat project, but I don't want to take on a nearly impossible task. Honestly, would I be crazy to attempth this? Do those of you with the old Fordsons consider yourselves crazy? Thanks in advance for any advice.
