1953 Harry Ferguson TO-30

Just got a new 'toy' today. A 1953 (so I'm told) Harry Ferguson TO-30 (Engine Serial # Z129-E809189). The motor was rebuilt 3 years ago to the tune of 1400. In the last year, it has had a new clutch, plugs, front tires, battery and starter added. The back tires are only 3 or 4 years old. It also came with a 5 foot, 3-bladed Woods finishing mower that had been completely rebuilt as well (and painted to match the tractor). Cosmetically, it 'ain't purdy yet' (needs a new seat for sure and smaller tires on the front to make steering easier), but it *is* mechanically sound and runs like a champ! I 'stole' it from a guy at work for 1400. A *great* investment in my book! Actually, this was a Easter present for my boyfriend.... ;) But, *I* can't wait to start restoring it with him in the years to come! It feels good to have been at the right place at the right time for a change! Cyndi ( realtruck@eatel.net ) Submitted by Cyndi Hall, from LA
