The 4-236 has been a very good engine. It arrived in Massey tractors in the early 60's. My father bought an MF 180 Diesel in 1965. The engine was bullet proof as they say, the rest of the tractor left alot to be desired. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the tractor if the tractor is as good as the engine. The parts for the engine a redibly available through Agco, and certainly through Tom's AgriDiesel (I'm not associated with Tom's in any way). I'm sure there are other places with engine parts also. I'm a John Deere fan to a point, that being said, I wished many times that John Deere would have used the 4-236 instead of their own 300 series engines. The "E" in 271E stands for economy model. E indicates basically bare bones, and sometimes lighter drive line. If you were planning on heavy draft ie plowing, deep riping, etc, that will put a heavy strain on the drive line, I would look elsewhere. The E tractors make an excellent general chore tractor.
