Older (antique) tractors that have had loaders on them for many years may be a bit worn out. Dry engine clutches, front end pivots, spindle shafts, wheel bearings, etc., are all areas that will show considerable wear. The heavier the tractor the worse it usually is..especially if used on an active farm. Try finding something in the 35 - 45 HP class used by a hobbyist or weekender for a number of years. The smaller Fords are good choices, as they are too light in the rear end to do much damage. However, an Allis Chalmers "D" series, with auxiliary hydraulic pump is also a good choice. The advantage regarding the AC is that they have a wet clutch arrangement which is great for loader work...I own an AC 175/loader tractor with about 7000 hours on it... use it around the barns as a chore tractor..original clutches..but then again I'm rather careful to use the tractor for actual loader work and not as a bulldozer.
