Mine has to be my 75hp Massey Ferguson 590. I bought it brand spanking new in 1976 when I was just 15. Put 2000 hours on it the first year! and it is still running and doing plenty of work for me, although it is no longer the 'front line' tractor. It has done everything from chopping silage to muck spreading and ploughing and power-harrowing.....Everyone in our area knows that tractor, and they keep asking me if it is still working, like it was some elderly relative! ( We normally don't run tractors much over 15 years old here) The hour meter stopped at 13066 hrs, but I was still doing over 800 hrs/year with it per year up until 6 years ago, Now it only does around 200 hrs/year. The engine is getting tired, but does not really dirty the oil between changes and the tin needs tidying. Although the brakes are still good, there is no adjustment left....Some of these years I will find time to put her right again and like yours ....It is not for sale!!!!............ Sam

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
