Ford Diesel, my workhorse over the years

This is a 1964 Ford 4000 diesel. Was originally my mother-in-laws that ended up sitting in barn unused. I inquired about it, and my brother-in-law said he would take $500 for it. Couldn’t get there and pick it up quick enough.

Only have a 2-acre parcel in Howell now but has come in handy many times for removing snow, taking down trees and general yard maintenance. Also came in handy for setting poles for new pole building for the rv.

Did a cosmetic restore a few years ago. Keep it stored in my barn with a 9N and gramps Oliver 77. The diesel has been my workhorse and saved me much labor over the years.
