:lol: :lol: Right. I've owned AC. Wasn't any better or worse for parts used that comparably sized and year other brands. Seems odd to me that AC managed to make and sell 123,519 C and CA tractors over 18 years. Ford sold 524,000 8N's in 5 years. So considering the sheer numbers out there which one as a business man are you going to make parts for? That's right. The one still actually being worked even if only as a garden tractor. Heck the only thing I see a C or CA being used for today is a lawn mower or sitting in a row of other tractors at a show where people are going A C, another C, another C......so sitting of course they don't require as many parts.
Here a AC C is a 500 buck tractor. That's all fixed up with new paint and new tires. The only thing it's good for is mowing grass or parades. Try finding new implements for that AC C? Oh, other than a trailer or wagon no one makes any! So take that C AC at 500, add 580 for a 3 point conversion (only if you have a C with hydraulics). According to what I find you better hurry. After what's in stock is gone that's it, they ain't making no more (it's that business model you know, if it ain't selling you don't produce it). And you still don't have draft control. Other than that you can try to find AC implements made to fit those but those are few and far between anymore and wear parts are hard to find. But there are several companies making cat 1 3 point implements.
Heck I get 1500 for a Ford N in work clothing, so so rubber without trying to sell and an AC gas, nice runner, Dual loader, new rubber gets 1700?
Look, I did not say that the MM or AC was a bad tractor. I said they are a bad tractor for anyone who want's to do serious work with one. And then the problem is in today's parts support, not with the original design. A tractor that's more prone to break down but has great parts support is better than a tractor that's better made but when it breaks that's it, off the the crusher you go. But the nonsense that a tractor used for work isn't going to break because of the brand? That's just silly. Heck if that were true i guess we'd all own nothing but JD according to the JD guys!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
