Tell me what 40 - 50 PTO HP tractor you would buy and why. Since we are day dreaming on a slow winter day let's make it real interesting and say you just inherited 10,000 dollars back then. What tools would you buy at the same time or what did you wish was on the farm that was not in terms of tools. 1959 was before my time but even as a young kid I had a sense of what dad or gramps would have done if in that position. I'll go first.
Like I said I was not born yet back then and grandpa held the checkbook. Grandpa did not like hand clutches so he would not have gotten a JD or MM. I'm thinking he probably would have gotten an IH 460 diesel because of the TA and fast hitch. He would have gotten a plow, transport disk, and side mount mower for it. Probably would have bought a new grain drill, a couple of forage wagons, and a modern side delivery rake.
If I were around back then I probably would have gone with a JD 630 or an Oliver 770 diesel. Maybe an IH 460 diesel or Ford 960. Similar line of implements as mentioned above.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
