went out friday and picked up an ff18. all hydro. only issue with it is, the gear selector is kind of loose and you have to hold it in place to get the machine to move. the info i found on it dates the manufacturing before 1987. i believe it might be an early to mid 70's model. the model and type tags on the engine are faded out. any idea on how i can pull them up ? what implements are available to use on this thing ? will try to get some pics up asap.

The FF's are very desirable, made 1981-1982.
Check out stripmine's sears manuals website, he has a manual for the FF18. Go to 'tractor manuals", click on Craftsman, then find the FF18. There is some info out there, just gotta search for it.

Attachments are a little harder, but I think they maybe were a true Cat0 or maybe a Cat1 so other implements can be used, but finding a 3 point and specific FF accessories maybe a lot harder.

I found an old FF18 about a week ago. They said it still runs and it had the lower lift arms for the hitch on the back of it. It had been sitting in the weather though.
