Rboulware, It sounds like from the last post with all the responses you are really up in the air as to what you want. I think you need to sit down and write down what you KNOW you need to demand from whichever tractor you buy. Next you need to think what you may need that same tractor to do in , say the next 5 years- Then start shopping and researching tractor options and pricing in your area make it a large area. Stop in at a few farm's and visit with the owner, most will be glad to show you what THEY have and let you know what it can do with what they have for implements and their soil type. They can tell ya what the biggest issues have been with that certain machine while they owned it. I am right now dealing on a 1586 IH, a 756D IH, both are good deals and good tractors. The 1586 is way more than I would need unless I start running alot more ground once i start running my own. The 756 I am debating on the investment vs getting a tractor with easier starting motor and MFWD, I have some low spots and could do the feilds the nieghbor lets sit because his 4020 w/o duals cant get in there and get er done. Everytime I see what I want, I make sure it is at least what I need, but not way more than I need. Once you know that, there that perfect tractor for you will be, right in that lot or right in that farmers yard ready for you to make it work.

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
