I have one. I bought it new in 1988. It is indestructible. I have used that thing hard and the only thing I've ever replaced that wasn't directly due to operator stupidity or abuse was the battery. It's also VERY good on fuel.
The feller that points out that the steering arm can get in the way is correct, but I haven't found that to be a problem. I'm a fair-sized feller (Six feet and 210 pounds) and I don't find the operator position all that cramped. (Of course, I've never been spoiled by a Comfort Cab on a fullsized tractor either...)
I have a loader on mine and have often wished for power steering, but not enough to swap tractors.
You'll be amazed at the amount of work that little rig will do. More weight would certainly be a big help, but I suspect it'd also lead to more problems. I've always found a way to get things done either by taking smaller bites or hanging an implement off the three point.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
