I ordered a new JD tractor from my local dealer about a month ago. I was promised that I would have it by the 15th of Aug. Today it didnt show up so the dealer made a call and found out the tractor was in transit somewhere in Iowa... So now the dealer is loaning me a brand new TV 145 bi Ford-New Holland, (he doesnt have any JDs in stock to loan me). Im not saying I bleed green when I prick my finger but Iv had JD tractors for the last 35 years and the last Ford I had was a 9n....I happend to go to "afternoon coffee" with the boys today and told them what the dealer had to offer. They all talked me into taking the 145 till my new one came in so I guess thats what ill be doing. I did sit in the 145 but never started it at the dealers today, hell I couldnt even find the clutch pedal..

Any tricks to driving this beast? Ill probley have it hooked up to a 14 foot offset disk, a three string baler and a grain drill. HELP..
