THE MUSTANG OF TRACTORS

1972 FORD 8000

This 1972 Ford 8000 has an important job. It’s got grass duty at the WACO Air Museum, which is an operational grass airstrip in Troy, Ohio, and the old test facility for the Waco Aircraft Company (pronounced Wah-Ko, not Way- Ko as in Texas), which originally stood for Weaver Aircraft Company before being changed to Waco Aircraft Company. The air museum has several buildings with vintage aircraft and memorabilia. This tractor is an open station, wide-front Rowcrop model with Dual-Power. This tractor was designed to be loaded heavy. It could carry up to sixteen 100-lbs. suitcase weights on the front rack and up to twelve 100-lbs. weights on the rear wheels.
