150-200 hp is on the larger and newer edge than the mainstream in tractor collecting, but there are a few candidates from each brand. If I may, I'd like to ask a few questions to narrow the field down a little.
Are you looking for a 2 wheel drive, front wheel assist, or 4 wheel drive? Which would be the most useful or enjoyable to use on your friend's dairy?
What options are important to you? Air conditioning? 3 point hitch? Standard, semi-powershift, or full powershift transmission? Loader?
Personal preferences - I like the 70, 90 and 96 series Cases. Solid power and nice to drive. Also, the TW and 30 series Fords are great tractors. In four wheel drives, I would look at Steiger or Versatile. Simple, reliable, and still fairly easy to get parts for. The biggest thing I would pay attention to on them is if there's any wear in the articulation pins. Machine work can get expensive in that area.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
