The JD two cylinder is a classic motor by any stretch but they hung on too long with it and took it to it's limit and beyond in some respects. It started to hurt them in the end and they finally had to bite the bullet and get beyond it. Now JD really did a lot for tractor development and is still alive today so that says something too. JD built a lot of good tractors as did IH. This is just my take. I'm not a farmer but worked for the farmer down the road summers who ran IH tractors, H's, M's mostly and later some bigger ones. Most of his large fields were up on top of a 1/2 mile long very steep hill. Now he'd pound them tractors up that hill full bore and back down again with loaded wagons and those tractors did that all day long 7 days a week year after year. I think a comparable JD might only be about half way up when that M topped the rise and leveled off. That's just my opinion and I can't really back it up cause we never had a Green unit on that hill but those tractors took a beating and seemed to love it. If you rode on the side or back of one of those tractors goin up you knew you'd better hang on for your lovin life cause that farmer wasn't lettin off and you'd be hamburger for sure if you slipped off.

Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
