I have used two of these tractors for the last 15 years or so, one is a 272 synchro and the other a 384. Both are around 70 hp, with the 272 being a few years newer(complete with rotary injector pump, and very desireable syncromesh gear box) brakes ned constant attention to keep working at all, and all the linkabes underneath need frequant greasing to avoid seizing up. Good old workhorses all the same, clutches have a short life when used with a loader much. Power steering gets sloppy with time and can make life interesting on the road, especially when those brakes are also neglected! Bottom line is however, fine tractors,no fancy bits to go wrong, will last for years, just keep clean oil & filters to it and remember GREASE everything.
