HeavyGunner Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 As my gramma has been going thru grampa's stuff and giving stuff he longer uses away (he has alzheimer's) to the family I inherited his trusty ole tractor. I think from the tag its a 1948 (but not sure) Ferguson TO20. This has been in my family since the late 50's or early 60's. Before my parents met my Dad's Father bought the tractor from what would be later my mom's father for snow removal. I am so glad the tractor stayed in the family and really glad I ended up with it. My wife and I have about 3 1/2 acres and its a bitch to mow it all with my riding lawn tractor so I see a 4 foot mower in this tractor's future. I recently got the tractor out of the shop (rebuilt hydraulic pump) and couldnt resist tryin' it out smoothing (kinda since its not froze but not quite soft either) out my drive way. Monday we are supposed to be getting snowed on again, bring it on!

LOLThat would look awesome, better get a vintage Cat D2 to go on the flatbed with the tractor too.

Olivetroad Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We mow grass with a 8N ford and a 6 foot finish mower - that tractor will do your job nicely - plus it is nice to have one with a little history to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strollinruss Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Does that little tractor have the starter on the gear shift? My grandpa almost lost his had when I was little and 'shifting gears' while he was under the hood. Found out the hard way how that tractor started. Boy, did I get in trouble.
