I bought a 1957 IH 330 Utility back in 1991. Split the tractor and replaced a broken Bull Gear in the trans.-rearend. 12V alternator upgrade, cleaned and painted it up real purdy. Used to to brush hog for many years, plus back blade the driveway with DIY back blade. Motor is some what tired, it has some blow-by, but doesn't use any oil. The paint isn't looking so fresh now, although it's always stored indoors. Probably shine up with a good washing. Along comes GF in about 2013, and along with her comes her 2011 MF 1529 with 5' BH and FEL. I think I used my tractor about 2X since. It's been in the neighbors barn unused and not started for 3? years now. Is it time to send it down the road? Oh...btw the 'significant other' situation seems pretty stable. Keep in mind, if that ever changed, I'd be......(gasp)....without tractor...
