We've got a 285, Dad bought it in around 82. It's a 78 model. Was the biggest tractor on our farm for many years, and it's a great haying tractor. 1000 RPM pto was an option, but it's one of those that's hard to find the casting and stub shaft to do it, atleast around here where everyone and their cousin had a 285.
