Kelly: actually I don't have the 300 anymore. After getting out of active farming, I chose to keep only the little off sets. My dad bought the 300 new and it was a good reliable workhorse for 35 years. The tractor is still going, now on its sixth set of piston and sleeves. I talked with the new owner just last year. He had to put a new crank in it on the last rebuild. The first 15 years we had that tractor it was a new set of pistons and sleeves every 3-4 years. After the 300 I had a 504, 560D, 656D, 1066D and a 100hp Deere. But you know something the 300 will go down as holding record on my farm as the only tractor to have ever baled 9,000 bales of hay and put them all on wagon with thrower, in a 2 day period. The back up tractors raking hay and hauling wagons on those two days were only Farmall 130 and a Cockshutt 540. Not exactly a bundle of horsepower. The haying equipment was New Holland, 9' hatbine, rake and Super 69 hayliner with thrower. Now in all fairness to the 1066 and Deere it was all round bales after their arival. The 504, 560 and 656 were however around for the square baler. We were just younger then and the flesh was a little more willing.

"It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
