A good cab would be worth the trip. Nice haul! Good to see the Ford earning it's keep.

Is that your first Hydrolift? I like the tractor...prefer the look over the earlier 112/110. Not sure on that light bar yet...but the lights sure look nice! I'm dying for more pics...you better get up early and get us some at first light! =]

My 3212H Sovereign has hydrolift, I just got that out front and resumed work on it. It's not going to be original, gonna have a stack, orange paint, wrong stripes and decals (has fake wood grain decals on dash and sides, YUCK!), narrow front rims/tires and maybe a few surprises... I want the resto to take it's own course.
I'm not sure what the differences are between a 110 and 210, the hood wedge on this one is gone, interfered with the cab.
The light bar doesn't look homemade, I dont think it's the right on either. The lights are nice.
As for pictures.... my lawn is to wet to drive on and I have no idea where to unload....

It looks like all the others are surrounding and ready to pounce on the rookie tractor... =]
The 210 & 212 didn't have the wedge...that's what I thgouth it was. Looked like you had teh inverted key hole too, another 210 charactaristic. Does the tractor have the 110/112 cutout in the hood exposing the battery and gas tank? |

They don't have enough tractors up in NH to keep you occupied? I keep a pretty good eye on the available inventory down here and never saw that one.??
I've got the nice original 3212H with hydrolift too. Those woodgrain dash and side decals are original and the last year of the top model in that style and if they can be preserved would be nice. The 3112H had a black dash, not sure on the battery and gas tank sides but they were different. I've got the woodgrain gas tank side decal in decent shape but the battery side was missing from mine. I think they have a different slant with the bottom being slanted towards the front. I tried getting some made from one of the vendors on eBay but they didn't have a decent original decal to copy. If you've got decent ones at least try getting some pictures. |

Actually, 1 out of 4 of my tractors was found in NH So no, there aren't enough in NH. Also, most of CT is way closer than say, Berlin, NH
My 3212H, while still all original (except seat) sat outside uncovered for at least 10 years and only one decal in very poor shape has any hope at all. I take 50 plus pictures a day and probably have about that in "Before" shots, more than enough for Corey at clickitandsticket.com to mak reproductions.
When I wanted to get into footdraggers I decided I wanted a 3212H w/ power lift - Sovereign 3212H - King of FDT's. |

Forget the name off the top of my head, but the town is in NW CT on RT 8 5 miles from the MA border.
And by "steal" I assume you mean you wish you got there first... LOL well it was on CL NW CT for 3 days before I emailed seller. |

Some day I'll have an FDT Hydrostat...
Around here, if the price isn't a rip off, I've found that if I don't get on the horn within an hour, it's gone... |

Your 3212H sounds about like the 3112H I have. Been sitting out under a tree a long time waiting for somebody to rescue it. My other Sovereign 3212H is my favorite of all tractors, just really like the looks of it.
I don't usually check the NW part of Ct. because there's so much going on over here in the middle and eastern ends but there are some deals to be had up there. |
