Dave, you are absolutely right! They are very good tractors, but unfortunately they are used very hard and a good condition one is hard to come by. I wish I could find one for me here in WI, but all I have seen are plainly worn. You got a strong air cooled engine with your Deutz. On our farm in Germany we have a 60 06 and 130 06, and both are still going strong. The 60 06 is from 71, and the 130 06 from 75. Especially the 130 06 is loaded with hours, but still going! Rick, you will have fun with the 30 06. How did you find it if I may ask? Can you post some pictures of it?
