It has a swivel under that channel iron that goes under the axle. There is a pin welded to the channel and goes through a pipe in the box beam no way you could turn with out it.

Look what I found on the way home from school today!




This car dealer usually has some nice classics for sale inside. Today I saw this Ford tractor sitting out side as I drove by so I had to stop and get a picture. I do not know what year it is. It said Ford 4000 on the side. It was a fairly well done restoration.

That's an early 60's tractor. TractorData.com Ford 4000 tractor information Nicely done. Photoshop all the newfangled machinery from the background and you could have a period correct picture.

I use my 12hp garden tractor, it will pull my 5,000 pound Bronco on level ground as long as it's dry out.

Watch out for the MF gas tractors as about 90% of them have cracked blocks.
If it has new engine oil or milky oil run from it fast as it won't be a headgasket!

I bought an MF 88 diesel with a Continental engine that had multiple cracks in the head and finding a good used one was almost impossible so I had it cold welded.

I'm talking mostly about the TO 20-35 smaller continental engines.
