redneckchevy9 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The lady was outside caring for the sheep & I asked her if it ran..."it did when my husband parked it & it has always sat inside." Been a few years since it's ran I'm guessing. Check out the fender radio with the cover on it...never seen one of those. The seat back had been replaced with the back of an old kitchen chair (70's floral motif). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12_Guy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The radio looks like a Motorola. Ours had a long, prob 6', antenna. It would pick up stations far and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtanker Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Friends grandma passed in the 80's. His mom and aunts would not allow anything on the farm to change. Old Surge milkers sat in the barn where their dad had left them. 1923 Chevy truck in a shed where he had parked that. His grandma and pa bought a new Chevy car in 1956. That sat in the garage where she had parked in right before she died in the 80's. But while his mom and aunts were alive nothing moved. There was a local guy who offered to restore the 56 Chevy with the only rule being that he could drive it in 3 parades in the local area each year. They refused and let it sit there with the mice living in the seats. Kinda sad really. Ain't like they are coming back! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckchevy9 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I don't think the lady's intentions were the typical case of not selling. I got the feeling the may not have ever thought of it or didn't realize that some guy would want that ole "junkie" tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro70 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Bet it does run and with a good cleanup and some new items that tractor would be a dandy one still yet. Those radios with the cover were real common here and we even sold those at our dealership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boog Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Had a radio like that on a 450, then later a 806D. On the 450 Itookan umbrella stand, made a plate to go on top of the pipe after I cut it off to length and bolted the radio to the plate & mounted it on the right axle house. Bolted it to the fender on the 8. Between that radio & straight pipes on os tractor it's no wonder I have tinnitis. After the radio finally quit I gutted the box & mounted a 2-way radio in it to keep it out of the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
