Tough Little Tractor
Model Year: 1980

I bought this tractor to move about 200 yards of dirt near my house as the brush and blackberries were taking the land back. I bought a Rototiller attachment , box scraper, six foot grading/snow blade, a post hole auger and a one tooth wonder plow. It came with the 4 foot bucket loader. When I got it, there was only 140 hours on it, so it was just broken in. i have run full synthetic 10w-40 Mobil in it and change the oil every 50 hours instead of every 100 hours. The only thing wrong with this tractor is that parts are difficult at best to find. Now, after 35 years, my ignition switch has finally gone bad along with the headlight switch and the flasher/signal switch. I found an ignition switch, new for $32 plus shipping, but the light switches are extinct.

Pros: Short wheelbase, 4-wheel drive, easy on fuel yet for 17 horsepower it is pretty powerful
Cons: Parts, parts, parts
