If you try and fit that old FEL on the Ford, yes. All the lines will have to be replaced and the lack of adapters scares me. What kind of shape are the hydraulic pistons in, the pivot points, etc? Equipment that is sitting is sitting for a reason.
Also, is the Ford up to the task hydraulic-wise?
I did this once: I found an old back-hoe that fit my MF 235. It was sitting is a yard with a FSS on it. The dumbest thing I have ever bought.
I spent time getting it up to speed only to find a continuous set of leaks and piston issues, etc. I got boned.
Anyway, I'll stop belaboring the point. I did a quick search in Florida and found what you need for sub 10k.
