My friend and I just got a 1963 Ford 4000 gas, narrow front tractor. The tractor belonged to a co worker of my friend, and we are going to be doing a few projects around her house, and maybe toss in a little cash for the tractor. It comes with a 5ft Howse brush hog, and 5' blade.

I have 20 acres that I hunt on and put in food plots. This tractor is way more than I need, but pretty sure we will be $00.00 out of pocket!! Needs some work to get back into running shape.

I will have lots of questions and look forward to getting to know folks.

Wagtail, thanks for the link. That was the first thing I found when I googled Ford 4000 tractor. I am amazed at how much info is out there to be found on these old machines.

Welcome to TBN. Enjoy the fun

Spent a lot of time in St. Charles. My office was in the old ACF facility down by the river.
Enjoy your new vintage tractor.

Good luck
