Those are all fair big tractors, and are all getting older. Parts become the elephant in the room with older tractors. My advice is try to pick a model with the largest build numbers, and share a large percentage of parts with other models of the same make , built during the same time frame. Example would be the IH 1486 and the 1086 will have many common parts. Same with the 7000 series AC tractors , they share nearly 80% of the same parts. The IH in line 6 cylinder is a good cold starting engine , widely used in IH trucks , and just a really tough old bird. White tractors came with a variety of engines , and the tub frame design allowed for this. Friends of mine that have had AC tractors have found them rather cold blooded, and enjoy the block heater. Two friends replaced their worn out tractor engines with wrecked combine engines , as combines never see high hours, and will match up well with tractors with only a few exhaust and coolant modifications. In my opinion , all of these tractors were built to be field tractors , and not utility yard/loader tractors , and I myself ,would believe these tractors to be awkward for loader work. No shuttle shift or forward reverser, and gear selection levers not really suited to the frequent back and forth action so often use in loader work. I will probably get flamed for this , but it is my opinion. These were all good tractors in there day, but where are the companies that built them now ? And how well will/are the new owners supporting these 40 year old ancestors of the current models ?
