MF 1000 & 1005 Series tractors

[muskeg_mapper]

Does anyone have any information on the MF 1000 and 1005 Series tractors, I'm especially interested in the 1505 and 1805. Are they reliable? Any problems to look out for? I'd like to restore it and use it for light farm work. How common are models with PTO and 3 pt. hitch? Any info would be appreciated.

i used to have an 1805, replaced the 18.4 tires with 20.8s, mediocre 3208 cat motor, weird motor to trans coupling, cab was roomy enough, not terribly noisy, used 5 [imperial] gallons per hour on a heavy pull [35 foot deep till], sold it for 4000 canadian last year
