Let's do a turnaround on another thread that got a lot of response.
Of all the tractors you've owned/driven, which one did you dislike the most?
I'll start by saying an Oliver 70 my dad owned when I was growing up. It wasn't a bad running or handling tractor---if you could ever get the d****d thing started. We used it on a feed grinder, and anytime the temp was below freezing, it was routine to belt it up to a VAC Case to start it.
If you ever killed the engine in the field, you might as well find a shade tree for a half hour. If you tried to start it right away, you just ran the battery down.
We went through the ignition and starting system, plus carburetion, continually and nothing ever improved. Everyone has known a horse that's famous for just plain cussedness. That Oliver was the same.
My dad finally sold the Oliver to a salvage yard and bought a Massey 44. It took a week for me to get the grin off my face.
