Dad had a 400 farmall for some time. Other than the head cracking more than once, the block cracking out the side at the rear main, the Torque Amplifier quitting and the rear end going out twice, the last time with a 4 row mounted cultivator on it, it was a pretty fair tractor. He had traded in an "M" for a Massey 44 and it lasted until the oil drain plug fell out the first day. Used the 400 as a loaner and decided to buy it. Then he and the dealer treated the Massey debacle as if it had never happened. When the rear end on the 400 went out the second time, he went to town and brought home a new 1963 or 64 706 with a mounted cultivator. They drove out into the field and loaded up the 400 to never be seen again. Several years ago he mentioned that the 706's were pretty good tractors. They were gas. If I remember correct they used to figure a complete sleeve and piston overhaul around 3000 hours. I don't know how that compares to other tractors of that time frame, but today that seems like a short life.
