An IH 504 diesel, but not because I was particulary attached to it- just that I had done a bunch of work on it.
Bought it for $2,500 (with loader) about 15 years ago. Used it quite a bit, it was a pretty dependable old horse. Then was using it to push up burn piles, and ran a stob through the grill and radiator. Took a year, and $650, to fix the radiator. Then lots of sheet metal massaging, replacing cage nuts, straightening radiator support structure, etc.
Finally got it all back together, and was going to give it to my daughter and hubby for their little horse farm. But after looking at it critically, it wouldn't start reliably, and had so much blowby it created its own dust-storm wherever it went. And bottom radiator hose was leaking- would have had to take it all apart again to fix. Probably just not suitable for my semi-mechanical daughter and her non-mechanical husband. So off it went to the auction. Not sorry to see it go, but sorry I had done so much work on it, for the money I got (2,000). Probably would have done as well to take off the loader and sell it, then scrapped the tractor.

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
