 They were great little tractors, and seem to be easy to work on. Post a picture if you have one. There are a couple restored 200 series pictures in the archives. Sure do look nice when done right. Mine had sat idle for years, and had a 6" diameter tree growing up through the front loader hay-fork when I went to get it from an eldery uncle. With very little tinkering, it came to life. I cut off the hayfork and built a bucket for the loader. The Eagle hitch had been welded up solid and the cylinder was seized, so that took a bit more work. The oil pump was not making pressure, so that got some attention too. After asking for info here, power steering parts were located off a donor tractor in North Dakota, and a YTMag poster in Florida sold me hitch parts and a PTO. Without really intending to make money with it, I have worked it several times for neighbors leveling yards, cutting drainages, planting oat patches for deer hunters, etc. It has more than recouped the money paid for the used parts. Its sorta nice when a hobby can pay for itself. Let us know what you end up doing with yours. Mike Johnston
