Hello folks! I'm starting my information gathering on a MID LIFE CRISIS project. What is the most popular Make and Model to buy and restore for hobby use in the 150-200 HP range? I volunteer on a close friends dairy farm and I'd like something to take over there to play in the dirt with. I'm partial to JI Case, IH and Ford but I'm not against JD.

The farm has a shop and the guys there have good, sound mechanical knowledge and I'm able to navigate my way around the tool box too with a little guidance. I'd like to stick with 1965 - 1990 for age. So let's hear what you've got to say.
