Welcome to our forum.
Are the chems the same vintage as the tractor?
Would you give me a bid on making a custom cover for it? 8-)
I know some dealers sell fireplaces, patio furniture, etc. in their stores along side the hot tubs but I didn't know Chas owned a hot tub/tractor store!!
You want the cover insulating? Vinyl, or corrugated steel?
What's amazing is that 1,800 people have viewed the ebay page. I think it would cost more to ship it then to buy it.
Chas -From what I remember, there weren't nothin better than an 8N Ford tractor. When I was a kid, my father bought one with a front end loader to do some work on a piece of property he owned. He was able to re-sell it at a profit when he was done using it. I understand that particular tractor was very popular with small farmers and when Ford stopped making it, it about crippled them. If I remember correctly, after Ford stopped making the 8N the only alternative was an imported Soviet bloc tractor (which was originally based on Henry Ford's design!) I think the Japanese have picked up the slack since then with their Kubotas and such.-This also gives you an idea of the sort of useless (and probably mostly inaccurate) information I have floating in my noggin.Rich
You have it all just right Rich. If you want to see how many people are still interested in these old tractors, go to this web discussion board - there is a registry where you can look up tractors by serial number and see who owns which tractor. There are also ads from people who restore these. Still very popular, and now you can buy new ones made in Korea and other Asian nations. http://www.ntractorclub.com/index.htm (Home Page)http://www.ntractorclub.com/forums/nboard/nboard.htm
