Go through the "Drive Through". When they ask you do you need a fork?......."No thanks......brought my own".

That's what we want the pictures of 8)  Make sure you wash and wax it first.  The tractor, not the wife ;) ;D

Wow that thing is beautiful, it reminds me of a 350B dozer I went to see on Friday. Same color brown and yellow.
Good Luck with her.

Great find ! I sure wish I could run across a deal like that. Those MF are great tractors. I have a 285 with 5800 hrs still running great.

The paint is a little tough but that machine looks solid. Your wife should be proud to take a night on the town with you on it 8)

When it comes to moving wood,pretty does not count.   ;D Nice find steve. Kinda neat the way those old tractors was done with a forklift kit. I have pictures,somewheres,  ::) of an old Ford like that. Saw one done like a road grader,never took pictures of that one.

Congrats !

It'll pay for itself really quick.... Mine paid for itself the first log I moved,, my back likes the forklift mucho much.. ;)
Funny just how handy they become,, I've lifted my truck onto jackstands for a brakejob, put a ball hitch hole in the end of one fork to move trailers around (no jacking the tounge jack no more), haul away flitches to a neighbor that wanted them, lift a whack of boards up into a building 3 feet off the ground, run over my favorite lawn chair,twice! real handy.!

Cypress, that's not finished.

Since i've had my "crane thing" i've cruched a road sign, bent a lamp post, opened the top of my toolbox on my tipper van. Crushed a roof gutter. Watch it, thoses heavy pieces of moving machinery can do serious harm when moving.
