pheel said: (quoted from post at 15:36:53 06/11/11) the 240 has the same appearance which i want, i don't want a large machine, and i like unique projects.
the question is is the 240 a good tractor, is it easy to find used parts, the reason i am using a cletras trac is it is easy to find parts.
If I'm not mistaken, the Farmall 240 is more rare than the International 240U... something like 3500 to 10,000. Some of the parts are common between them, and some are common with the 230 and probably as far back as the Super C, but the farther back you go, the less they are the same.
