New project 1967 Ford 5000

[Bansil]

She got dropped off a few hours ago thanks to local roll back driver...my trailer was about 2 inches to narrow :confused2:

She is 41 and I bought her a drink...the 1st of many I am sure :licking:

First project:

Reclaim some drivway for a carport after 16 years of tree growth and weather

Okay I lied...1st project will be a rear ballast...why even have atractor with no weight on rear?????

Need a barrel, drawbar and concrete....

then a fullcage, some bucket/grabber work etc.

this will be a long drawn out project, I just need a place to store it and the pictures

Congrats!!! She's a Beaut!!!! Keep us posted with your progress!!!

My Dad bought a new 4000 gasser in 1974.

You're probably gonna wish you had my FWD and I wish I had your FEL.

Down the road I could see a FWD version, just for the backside of property...this a heck of a step up from a garden tractor :laughing:

so wifey said she needed dirt for a new flower bed...:stirthepot:

Hey at least I pulled out big roots....this should surprise her tonight when she gets home...or it may just piss her off with how much dirt is there :laughing:

need to make a rear ballast this weekend and cut a few trees for next try...

Re: New project 1975 Ford 5000

Yeah, unless she wants an elevated flower bed you might have overdone it. Hard to control that enthusiasm!!!

:thumbsup:
it is like playing in a sandbox...but,better :laughing:

she did want elevated, her plan was to buy block for boundary next weekend and then fill in with dirt...I just got the tractor before her block...

Guess who's going to do the shovel work so the blocks can be laid??

No no he needs a backhoe to do that. Too much Manuel labor

Re: New project 1975 Ford 5000

Good news is I was able to sleep in the house when she got home

She actually said "how in the heck are we going to spread that out?"

"ugh...with the tractor" :tractor:

"oh, yeah...okay"

No no he needs a backhoe to do that. Too much Manuel labor

That's like project #5 for next winter probably

Nice build. Very useable attachment. I built one a few years ago as a Winter Shop Project and use it more than I ever thought I would.
