Workhorse
Model Year: 1961
This was rebuilt when I purchased the tractor. It had new hoses, sleeves, and pistons. The only real problem, after the rebuild, was a blown head gasket. Other than that, it has been a great tractor.
Pros: Fuel efficient
Cons: Slow cranking and warmup

Workmaster Tractor
Model Year: 1962
Great old tractor purchased from a friend, still unsure of year mfg. though have been told several years. Changed PTO seal, oil/plugs, fluids, after noticing they hadn't been changed in who knows when. Trying to find out exact year it was made, it has power assist steering and has been a great tractor. Got a great deal on it including assorted attatchments and covered metal structure. What serial # would I need (location) to find out exact year? Soundman here on the forum has been such a big help with any questions. Very knowledgable about this type tractor. My hat goes off to him for his help. - Randall; Liberty Texas
Pros: All.
Cons: None.

Ford 600 With Gas Engine
Model Year: 1956
My Ford tractor is very old but very dependable. I have owned it for over 20 years and have done very little work other than tune ups to keep her running. As long as I keep it covered in the rain and in winter it starts up and runs every time. They don't build tractors like this anymore.
Pros: Powerful for size, easy to find parts if needed.
Cons: Not pretty anymore.

601, Superior Loader, Sherman Backhoe
Model Year: 1958
This 58. Ford 601 has plenty of power but really needs power steering when using the superior loader. The axle is a little vulnerable to the Sherman backhoe and was welded at some point. Reverse is too high for loader work and could use a hi/lo trans. A foot throttle might be nice. Plenty of power though. This one is a beast compared to my 8n or Cubs.
Pros: Power.
Cons: Power steer missing.
