Thanks for the comment. I bought it cheap but have no history of how the reliability is on this design. All I can say is, I fired it up and ran it hard (pulling stumps) for 4 hours and it worked hard a flawlessly. Perhaps it is like cars. Even though Lexus if # 1 by a huge margin over all other makes, you could still find one person who got a "lemon" and tells everybody they are junk. I have only heard from you and 2 other people on this machine. the other 2 think they are fine. I hope others will tell me more but I am on 2 message boards several times and can't get very many replies. Guess a 1972 is hard to get info on.
The guy who sell backhoes (not mine), tells me that an Industrial IH is far better than a Case or other models of that era. Perhaps it is because it is a bachoe and not just a flimsy tractor with a backhoe attachment bolted on (has a huge frame and I-beam fr axle).
Thanks.
Bill
