The 'L' suffix or pre-fix on the newer machines stands for Lanz, as it is the old Lanz factory in Manhiem where it was built. The brakes are no worse than on anything else of that era like the I.H. world series tractors and certainly better lasting than the Massey 3000 series, as long as they have not failed and filled the system with crap you will be o.k. You may or may not have a park brake as I see some of the U.S. spec'ed tractors we get here only have a park lock, if you do have a park brake check that has not been left on and worn out, again filling the rear end with crap. Check the motor has good anti-freeze in it as the liners are prone to going pourus, best to use the JD Thermoguard (I think it is Coolgard in the U.S?) but even then they are a cheap and easy motor to rebuild. Hydraulic faults can be difficult to diagnose, you have to be very systematic working along the low and then the high pressure system without going straight past the fault. Would I buy one over the same era MF or Ford or IH? - Yes without any hesitation the Deere was the better tractor at the time over what we had available at the time.

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.
