1973 Ford 9600

Description

Custom Ford 9600 Scale Model This tractor began life in 1973 as an LGT145 garden tractor. It was custom built into this mini 9600 in about 2017 by a gentleman in Missouri and was featured on the cover of Lawn and Garden Tractor Magazine January/February issue of 2018. Inside is a multi-page article about the build from the frame up. Everything was done right including the front weights which are all individual and were cut from an aluminum block on a CNC machine with the Ford script, longer front axle spindles and rear hub and dual adapters. All steering, controls, etc. are as tight as new and PTO and custom 3 point are fully functional but rear hydraulic outlets are for show only. Tires are same as new with nubs still on them. Tractor has won numerous awards at tractor and car shows. It has a stock 14 HP K321 Kohler engine and foot pedal hydrostatic transmission and has only been used to show – no tractor pulling or abuse. If not at shows (where it was always covered at night or if it rained) it was stored in an enclosed trailer. Cover is included in sale as are parts and service manuals, a copy of the featured Lawn and Garden Tractor magazine and a framed caricature picture by artist Doug Nelson. Tires are >90% Firestone 16x6.50-8 fronts and Titan 8-16 rears. Pictures do not do the tractor justice. Everything was done to the highest level. The level of detail and the condition it has been kept in is impressive to see. This tractor was built by the same gentleman as the Mass
