When I was looking for a tractor last year, they said they were pretty much bullet proof after the update. And this place might have parts. http://www.triplertractors.com/tractors-restored.html A few in the area with 10k plus hours and nothing ever touched.
I did not find a good one of these around, any tractors for ranch duty are rare here, most seem to be buying new, practically none on lots or in ads, except for either brand new or ones costing $80k+ (with hours that aren't ridiculous).

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
