This past calendar year I have been "talking with" a guy that wanted my old Oliver (the one I took the loader off of last year due to a crack in its hydraulic pump). Yep, told him the whole story, it had sat for over a year, put jumper cables on it, filed the contact on the rotor and she fired right up. He was impressed.
Well he got a little more anxious about wanting the Oliver AND my '48 Ford farm truck (has a hydraulic dump, flat head V8 and overdrive trans).
Needless to say, even up, my two items for his. 6 cylinder Perkins diesel. Doesn't articulate, both axles are steerable. Approximately a 1969 model, 1470 Case 4 wheel drive. Heat and air, windsheild wipers, pretty deluxe model in that it has a pto, 4 hydraulic remotes and 3 pt. hitch! Yep, traded. What am I going to do with it? Thinking about how funny it will look if I get my young team mowing next summer and mow two strips around the fence then pull out the case with a batwing mower to finish mowing the pasture! Wonder what people would think!
Okay, here is one of my recent trades, what have you traded for lately?
