Hi Gang;
Thanks for your responses and advice.
Firstly MF changed models numbers frequently & upgraded tractors. I have found out today that the MF350 was 3 cyl Perkins 152 non turbo at 48HP gross & the Mf360 was same engine with turbo at 60HP gross.
Then they made 342 non turbo 48HP, 352 turbo 52HP, then the 362 was 4 cyl non turbo (VERY good tractor and commands premium prices here).
The 350 seller called me today again, he paid $17350 + $120 for (missing drawbar). Ive offered $16500. He will take $16950.
The killer for me is that its about 180 miles away and will cost me $500 in haulage charges. So the downside is that its only 48HP, which is low to drive a cabbed tractor & wet brakes rear axle.
The upside is a high specification cab with heater, radio, and syncromesh on 3rd & 4th gears which is great for roadwork. What are your thoughts? All suggestions welcome. Cheers David

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
