Very good job and video. In 1986 I bought a 1973 Ford 2000 with FEL for my wife. I use a 4500 TLB. Many years ago, to get my 12 year old away from the computer, I got him a garden tractor. Later a friend brought me a 1971 Ford LGT120 garden tractor so that my son could have a tractor "just like Mom's and Dad's" but smaller. It was a good distraction for a while. I hope that by now you have the FEL on it. It looks very good and it is a much better machine than anything made now. Good Luck, Rick
Love it! This was an amazing video Joe. You did a great job....I'm very impressed! That's one slick tractor.
Thank you. Greyson sure enjoyed helping.
Badass Classic Tractor
Man that is awesome. I love the way these tractors look. I wish I had the ability you do to do something like this.
Very nice tractor… Go blue!
That’s great work and it’s such a good project for your young man to help! I got a 3000 in my garage getting the engine un-frozen
Beautiful restoration, give Grayson a big hi five for me!

You would make a fortune restoring peoples Ford tractors. You should start a business.
I used to do it as a side job in college
