Compared to tractors of other eras, you could say that most of the 80 to 100 HP tractors of late 1960's era are notable for their uniformity just as much as their differences. They were almost all competitively equipped with the same modern features and were quite reliable if well maintained and used as intended.
Those tractors almost all had: catagory 1 & 2 three point hitch; draft control; live PTO; power steering; good brakes; high pressure hydraulics; six cylinder non-turbocharged engines that could only be economically turned up by an extra 20 percent max; eight speed transmissions with some sort of optional shift on the go; open station or an uncomfortable cab. and were built to last 10,000+ hours.
If they were properly maintained and used as intended, they almost all held up pretty well until they were replaced by larger tractors in the 1970's. Many of those tractors did have problems after someone added a turbocharger or LP-gas injection for the power of a larger tractor and weighted them to pull wider implements. Dealers often took these hard used machines as trade-ins, removed the add-ons and resold the tractors to unsuspecting buyers.
