I didn't say NO dealer would turn up a tractor. What I did say, and you apparently don't have sufficient reading skills to comprehend is, MY dealer didn't turn up THIS tractor. It still has a sealed injector pump some 37 years after it originally sold new, and it still dyno's "stock" hp.
I'm more than certain you can drag in any number of larger, newer, more powerfull tractors and outperform a smaller, less powerful, (and coincidentally) older one. What's that prove? Exactly NOTHING.

Anyone looking for one, regardless of who or for what purpose would be well served with a 100 series Massey. Still a viable tractor for it's size.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. 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
