Bought a 69 Ford 3000

About the only two things I was going to suggest beyond basic tools is 3/4 drive sockets (good for rear lugs and implements like bushhog blades, 3-pt pins, etc), and a set of feeler gauges if a gasser. You already have the sockets, and someone else beat me to the feeler gauges. Get a set of them for sure. You will need them for point and plug maintenance

'point maintenance'... that reminds me of the other upgrade I added to my old 2000.
An electronic ignition conversion kit is like $90. Very nice not to have to mess with points after that.

If I knew what I was doing then the old carb and distributor would probably be fine, but we the more modern system components then even I could keep the tractor running nicely. ;-)
