I bought a Farmtrac 80 back in 2004. It had Longagribusiness on the decal along with farmtrac. later when Farmtrac bought out Long tractor the number changed on my model tractor to 675 Farmtrac and the Long name wasn't used again. Can't remember the year that changed but thinking 2006 perhaps. Montana picked 3 models of the Long tractors and put the Montana name on those after that buyout.
The 545 was 45 back in 2004 so it changed also. My dealer sold hundreds of these tractors and see them along the highway being used pretty much every day. They are good tractors and like any other name brand, you can always get one and have problems with it.
I just traded my FT 80 in and it had just shy of 2,000 hours on it. Has a loader on it and was used for loading spreaders with chicken litter and wood ash.Also used it for haying. The 80/ 675 has a perkins engine and I was very pleased with that tractor. All the models under that 80/675 had the old style Ford engine that was used in Europe. Most Ford parts will fit.
So far as parts, they are available online and in my area the dealers still sell parts for them. Farmtrac is still alive and well in India. They just bankrupt Farmtrac American company in Tarboro and walked away with millions of dollars and closed it down. The ones responsible for that won't come back here to be prosecuted and India won't hand them over.
I traded my 80 in on a Stoll loader,forks,bucket, and a root grapple and several other items. I sold my beef herd because of health problems and only need one tractor now. If I hadn't sold the cows I'd still be running the Farmtrac.
I bought a few parts online when my dealer was out and was just as easy to order them online. Here's the link for the parts and they have parts manuals to download for free too. Or they did last year.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
