About this Episode

Charlie Hardesty of Indiana is all about Ford Tractors. One of the stars of Charlie’s collection is his 1956 Ford 960-5 LP Gas with factory adjustable wide front. Most Ford 960’s were sold with a factory narrow or “row crop” front end, and estimated 15-20 percent were sold with the factory adjustable wide front.

Charlie’s 960 has a Ford 4-cylinder, 172 cubic-inch, LP gas 46 horsepower on the belt and about 38 horsepower on the drawbar. Back in 1957 the Ford 960 would have cost you about $2,561 US dollars or about $23,356 US dollars in 2019.
