Thanks Hal and all. Hal I'll send you a PM. Thanks for the votes of confidence in my choice. Maybe my rockshaft and mounts are o.k. as is, nothing to compare it to though.
Fairly new to this whole tractor thing, but learned a lot on my old Case VAI, but wanted something just a little bit bigger, but not much bigger, with a little bit more versatility. Criteria was ease of getting parts and help, either local or online here at YDT for when I get stumped. I did a ton of research here at YTD and from all the possible choices on my next tractor I narrowed it down to JD B, Ford 600 series or Farmall SC. JD B while popular in my neck of the woods just seemed a bit more different than I was ready for. Really liked the Ford 600 for size and parts availability, but no bargains around. Found this wide front SC with Touch Control, Fast Hitch, C-21 Sickle Mower (I think), FH 2 bottom plow, Fast Hitch draw bar and 3pt hitch adapter, and a homemade work platform for the fasthitch.
It's a little rough looking and in need of some TLC, but tin is complete, no rust-outs or major dents, just surface rust. It's fully operational, with usable rubber, full set of wheel weights, plus another complete set of rear wheels, rims, tires with more wheel weights in very good condition, all for 1G+ less than any of the Fords I was looking at. It's not 100%, somethings will need attention but that's what I want, I don't want a perfect tractor that has nothin' left of me to fix.
Plus every day on my way to work I pass a Case-IH dealer with a wonderful crew and a cracker-jack master mechanic who is a walking Farmall encyclopedia who has been more than generous in helping me with questions on my Case. Add it all up and it was too good a combination to pass up.
First up is all the fluids, gonna drop the oil pan, clean it out and take a look see up the belly of the beast. Thanks for the replies and looking forward learning and helping when I can.
