To refer to the 300 or 350 as junk, one would also have to include the H from which the 300 and 350 was derived. The H was one of the most dependable and serviceable tractors ever built by anyone. As Cowman states below, the 350 is simply a super H with a new set of clothes with one exception. The T.A. (Torque Amplifier) was added to the 300 and 350 which did not appear on the H or sSuper H. While there were eventually some breakdowns in the T.A. system, mainly due to misunderstanding of how to use it or from misuse, they werent constant or chronic problems. Considering that these tractors are nearing 50 years in age, it is not unreasonable to expect that the T.A. may need reconditioned along with any other updating that may be required of a tractor that old. If I were looking for one of the early numbered series Farmalls, I would never let a blown T.A. from preventing me from owning one as it is not that difficult to fix. I would simply consider that in the price I was willing to pay. In my opinion, someone who labels the 300 or 350 as junk, is not fairly assessing the tractor, which is not to say that there isnt a junk one among them, but if it is junk, it has been made that way by its owner or owners, not because it was a designing failure.
