Gonna buy 2 tractors before spring. Both for mowing, but one will spend some time here to keep the hours down on the 150.
Ford 6000 ~ 1959 - good tractor?

I believe you may not have read my posts completely... i said i stood corrected about the SOS info, and in fact.. would like to find more sources about the deaths involved.. etc.
Not sure what you are getting at re: paranoia...? not sure how that would apply in the previous post... however.. I think we can say that this issue is effectively burnt out now ?At this point i think it's safe to leave it at that.

Paranoia, n. a mental disorder characterized by delusions, as of grandeur, esp persecution. paranoid, adj.
Thinking anyone's comments that COULD apply to one's self are directly and singularly about yourself in all cases even with no real legitimate reason or indication of that being the case. That'd be paranoia.
Misrepresentation. vt, To represent falsely. To give an untrue idea.
That'd be the altering and deliberate change of context of what was represented as a "quote". Think about that one for a while, and how it applies to your reply (ies).
I ALWAYS read any post before quoting and or replying to it. I have no problem with reading comprehension skills. Doing anything differently would be a mistake on my part and a dis-service to anyone reading my reply.
I will agree the topic has reached it's usefull conclusion.

I thought this was all settled, why bring up a post to rehash the bickering.

Thanks everyone for all the information on this tractor. I almost bought one but with all the negative information I asked a lot of questions about the transmission. Turns out it had a transmission problem and drove its self into a garbage bin. No one was hurt but it was at low rpm.
