Mine weren't on the list, but I mentioned the 706 and 3010 that I had. I'm sure the majority of those two models were decent enough, but I think I had the worst ones built of each. I had a John Deere 730 diesel that made number three on my own personal list. They were, in my opinion, the nicest looking tractor Deere ever made. Looks don't get the job done though. I think they just held a place in market for a few years until the 3010 and 4010 came out. As a 'main, big tractor', they were less than ideal to put it mildly. No doubt why, in the late 60s, Yoder and Frey tried to sell more of those at every sale than Ford 8Ns and AC Roto Balers combined, and that was a lot.
You mention the Ford 6000. I loved those when I was little. I remember the Oliver dealer brought a new Oliver 1800 and 5 bottom semi mount plow and demonstrated it in the spring of 61. I still wanted Dad to buy a 6000. I rode with him plowing and he showed me how nice the headlands were with that semi mount plow. Some farm magazine came soon after and there was an ad for a 6000 showing it plowing. I can still remember him showing me that it was a fully mounted plow and all came out of the ground at once. He told me that if I wanted a 6000, I could buy a used one myself when I got older. It still hasn't happened. I'd like to find that 61 Oliver 1800 to ad to my collection though.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
