I take it you don't like them much, huh?
Underpowered?... for what? some would consider a 560 underpowered, or a 1456... depends on what you want to use it for.
Bad hydraulics?... same could be said of my 240, a H, M, all Supers, *00 and *50s, etc. Hydraulics improved with time and newer models as with most things, but for 1958, they weren't any worse than most (I'll catch a ration of crap for this, but JD had good hydraulics back then, but many [most] brands did not).
I'd take a free one within 80 miles, heck maybe even 100, if I could winch it up on a trailer.
