Those brakes are what goes out on those. The rest of the tractor will seldom give any trouble at all. They have most modern features such as independant PTO, hydrstatic steering. syncronized transmission,shuttle shift,differential lock and the works. Some have the torque amplifier which give it 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. They are capable of farming a lot more than 12 acres. They are rated at 62 HP. It is an IH designed tractor, IH also built the Farmall tractors, that is what they called their row crop line. They are no longer made. In 1984 Tenneco bought IH and merged it with Case. Case essentially quit building its own line of tractors and implements soon after and IH was left. Others will dispute this, but it is what happened. I would drive the tractor and see how everything works. Make sure the PTO and steering works good. The condition of tires, they are expensive. See that clutch doesn't slip and general appearance of tractor will tell you what kind of care it has recieved. The brakes may only need bleeding. These are one of the finest tractors in that size range you can get.
