Hello everyone,
I'm in need of a working tractor for my property. I was able to manage this year with a 18hp garden tractor but I need to up the ante. My budget isnt much so there hasn't been a whole lot of options but a "Little grey Fergie" has come up for sale. According to the owner who I spoke with on the phone, it runs well. He replaced this spring the plug, ignition wires, and distributor cap. I've become pretty familiar with gas engines recently and I understand these old machines are easy to work with. Only issue is that the hydraulics aren't currently working, but he said they worked in the fall. It comes with a loader (no bucket), scraper, and is asking extra for a rear bucket that attaches to 3 pt hitch , and a 2 furrow plow. He's asking $1800CAD.
My questions are what should I look for, does anything stand out in the pics? And what do you guys think its worth even in your area? Also, am I crazy for wanting to run firewood, move dirt and work the soil with a 70 year old tractor?
Going to look at it tomorrow and just thought I would drop by the place all the tractor experts hang out lol. I hope I'm not asking for too much here, I hope maybe someone enjoys helping a fella out. I have attached some pics. Thanks.

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
