No could have been like me a few years ago ... 4430 open station...with 110 degree heat index , and my father didn't believe in putting radio's in tractors or having them on while working. So yeah I'd say that's pretty good.

Nice TW there. They wasn't too popular in my area. Fords started to phase out after the years of the 9700. Which the TWs replaced them. Specially on the larger sizes. After that you found the smaller ones around 100HP and under still being a popular tractor. For the larger ones, most farms was going to IH or John Deere for that power range.

All the ones that used to be around here were over heating machines.
I couldn't see ever doing anything with a 2wd again

I have heard that they are prone to overheating. The warmest it got while I was running was 70 degrees. So it wasn't an issue. They have a small radiator from what I have been told.

Nice pictures with a series 1 TW 35. I could live with one of those  . FWA wasn't too popular until the series 2 TW-35's. The cab in the one you road in is the same as our TW-10. What's the extra gauge for? The thing with the Ford 401 engine is that they like to eat water pumps. My dad can change one on the TW-10 pretty easy. Plus on the TW-35, to get the extra ponies out of it, they added a turbo and intercooler on it. I know when looking at ads for TW-35's/8830's a lot of them have rebuilt engines. I don' think that engine can handle that type of power. |

The extra gauge is an oil pressure gauge. The original must not be accurate. It still appeared to be hooked up though. I always thought they were asking quite a bit of a fairly small cubic inch engine in those 35s. The biggest problem I have heard of is when they need overhauled. They are a dry sleeved engine so you pretty much throw them away and get a new one.

Yeah getting 160+HP out of those small 400 size engines. I can see why they give trouble. That is a load on a small engine on trying to perform. Displacement is a good factor on this one.

That sure is a "sleek" looking tractor. I remember a long time ago, Ford thought they would get in the big tractor league(way back when the first big tractors had 4 row capacity), Ford introduced their 800 or 900 series. Well, they didn't even have 200 cu. ins., but got their power from high rpms..They drank a lot of fuel, & didn't last very long.
