Would've had a 50's (I think that was the year) CASE with the 3 most important attachments one might want on a tractor...that ran good with only CON being a bent front wheel. Sellers wanted only 2200$ OBO & was only about 18 miles away too. A Coulda Woulda Shoulda of not reacting soon enough. Only plus side to THIS sob story was after that find fell through though...well...lets say that while trying to find a tractor I came across an 81' Miller WildCat 350D last year...so if I break anything it can be fixed.
Oh well...found a Massey instead...and closer.
Trying to plan ahead here since some definite TLC is in order so started looking up manuals after finding out that a Massey I found is a most definite GO! To the point of the aforementioned planning ahead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0872881245/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=
Is this the right one to cover the 202 Work Bull?
This one doesn't have the backhoe on it...though it probably did at some point in its past but now only has a box scraper. A quick rundown is this: It has the Continental 4-cyl 134ci (2.2L), loader front end (what I've been needing), 3pt & PTO (1 without the other is like having 1 leg instead of 2). It's complete and all there though has been sitting for the last few years...so going to be a beast to get it running long enough to get it loaded on a trailer to get it home...merely 10 miles 1-way...though for where I'm at this convenience is a lucky-as-all-hell find.
It has definitely seen better days but for 1200$ its better than the alternatives I've found. I HATE having to ask for help for some things...so wasn't looking forward to getting that help just to follow up on to collect the scarce pickings half-way across the state and 2 hours or better away. Most others I found for this price either had just the 3pt//PTO, or had that including the loader (some minus the bucket) and were in FAR worse shape, or had loader//3pt...and potential engine problems outright for nearly 3k. The tires definitely need replacement; rears are holding air for now...the front is blocked up but those look intact but in AZ desert tires go on their own but SHOULD hold air long enough to load it up for its homeward bound trip. Well I'm under budget which frees up the rest for whats needed.
I'm no stranger to tractors//equipment, though actual maintenance on them myself is limited. BUT I know where to get help in that dept when needed. Though if it has a gas engine I'm none too worried about tangling with power plant issues...done enough of that with rebuilding my own vehicles. Though I understand diesels enough enough to at least try.
Been looking for a tractor for some BADLY needed yard//property cleanup (20 years of accumulation)...and as a general utility in a place where that 3rd-4th-etc set of hands is never around.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
