? Trade Dragster for Mower ?

[woi2ld]

trade 71 chevy Chevelle BBC , caged narrowed Ford 9" on weld Drag Lites , big lumpy cam , double pumper , billet MSD , 3800 stall , $3k in fiberglass doors hoods fenders bumpers..sitting around for 10 yrs..................may trade for a mower or tractor that will rip through my 3 acres of tall grass

Do it. Its a shame to let that Chevelle sit and go to waste.

ditto, plus who can afford to put the juice in one of those anymore. Paint it green, put a gang mower up front and take it to your local JD dealer-wonder what the would give you...?

Is there a market for the car, value?

What motor, big block....hmm, I know a lot about cars, could it have a 454? Heck any mower will go thru tall grass if you cut a few inches width at a time. Did you run the car in drags, take it in trade for a debt, whatever?

If you have the hankering for a blue Ford compact tractor, do a search for "Ford 1520" . A friend of mine owned one back in the mid-90's, excellent all purpose CUT.

May I suggest you go to TractorByNet.com | Compact Tractors | John Deere, Kubota, New Holland which is another site like this is, same administrators, same great members but over 100,000 registered members. They have entire sections devoted to Ford tractors, I have belonged to TBN since 2003 and visit it every day. Registration is fast, free, easy, and once you join you will kick yourself (if you could) for not discovering it sooner.
