Good day everyone, looking for some opinions.
There are two tractors for sale in my local area. One is a Massey Harris 16 Pacer (50's), the other is a International Cub (70's).
I like them both and they are both around the same money.
The Pacer is running ready to go
The Cub needs some odds and ends and has been sitting the owner has had it running but not recently.
History of the pacer is unknown
History of the Cub is known (Low hours, two owners)
The pacer is slightly larger and heavier than the Cub
Both have oem hydraulics
Parts are virtually non existent or very pricey for the Pacer (Head gasket for example) since they were only made for 3 years
Parts for the Cub are cheap and plentiful
Aesthetically I love the Pacer and being a bit bigger may be more useful, but common sense is telling me NO, buy the International
What do y'all think?
