I only know of one Ardvark around here. They had a bunch of problems with the torque amp and clutch but I think they finally traced that back to the MCV pump and got it fixed. Also rebuilt two engines for it... first time when they bought it and second time it over heated... and to be fair, that tractor was a 3588 that was probably not far off the 200 hp mark. They used it mainly for chopping silage... and it ran a 3960 Deere with 180 HP driveline... and I bought the harvester... and there was a fair amount of torque related failures with that machine. It saw big power over the years.... So aside from the fact that the poor old tractor was wound for sound and had a couple torque amp failures that ALL IH's of that vintage were known for... it really wasn't a bad tractor. This one got pucked around on a manure tank before they ever bought it too.... I think if you buy one in decent running order then it's probably had it's original problems fixed and it should be decent cheap power.
