I went and looked at the SC. The fellow actually has two, plus two more 200 tractors. All have the fast hitch, with one of the 200 models having a home built 3 pt as well. A couple Massey 245s and a larger John Deere were also present for bigger jobs.
The one advertised for sale is a little rougher than the others but started right up and ran ok. Rear tires were heavily cracked, tin is fixable but has a few tears, etc. Coverted to 12 volt but not a great job. No fenders. Fast hitch two bottom plough in pretty decent shape and a repairable fast hitch sickle mower as well. Left brake didn"t seem to be working.
He is motivated to sell one and for a little more $$ would sell either the other SC or a 200. Both have the wide front axle that I prefer and better tires. The second SC has a better 12v conversion and one 200 is still 6v. This SC had a very small (too small) hole where the hand crank should insert. Did all SC models use a hand crank?
He seemed to be an honest, semi retired farmer (still makes hay to maintain the land and runs a few head of cattle). These tractors were not showpieces for him, but appeared to be well maintained working tractors.
I believe that he is just a little heavy on the price for this area however the fast hitch implements can be difficult to find in decent shape. My main concern involves mowing with the SC as my land is mostly overgrown old fields that may cause heartaches with a sickle mower.
Is there any preference between a good SC and a 200 or other options for mowing old hay fields with weeds? Thanks again.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
