Rick, when I bought mine in 2005 it was a 1953 model with a complete factory fast hitch system and I had previously looked at least at 25 or more when I deceided this was the one. It didn't run but everything was very tight and obviously wasn't abused having an easy prior life. It had very straight sheet metal especially the grille which is very hard to find and to replace without spending a few Ben Franklins. Mine was perfect so that entered in as most I had previously seen were trashed. I got it running quickly with little effort and no expense as the wire between the coil and switch was broken under the battery box. The guy also had someone try and get it running and they had the distributor out so that was another issue for me to get back in the right place along with needing a generator armeter, voltage regulator and new battery. I paid $1500 for mine but it was certainly a far cry from a parts tractor even in the condition it was and it overall was probably like a 5 at best when I found it. I have since restored it and it is an exceptionally nice tractor which is still used in the hay field with the hay rake and taking wagons to the barns. It just gets a bath on Saturday night during hay season now and I'm the sole driver. I hope you find one which pleases you as much as mine did me as they are an exceptional and useful tractor of their era and I truly enjoy the fast hitch and looking for rare and unique implements for it, Hal.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
