Great buy.
To be safe though on a "good deal" is to get the serial number and check with the NH dealer first. Unless the ex wife wanted get even with the ex husband, then you got a "good deal", lol!
It came from a large university and was used in their grounds keeping equipment and all the people who worked the knew about the deal, and they were amazed that I wanted it. We kinda had a hard time loading it up and the guys there said we should have done a Utube video of it-it would have been amusing.
Nice D4C
Heck of a buy i drug my feet the other day about 15mins to long on a rubber tire loader the other day about the same kind of deal as you.
Those old 4X4 ford industrial tractors are STOUT!
