My 1961 MF35 (with a Perkins) has also been a pit (of sorts)... I paid $3500 for it (in running condition w/5' brush mower)... I thought I got a pretty good deal... Less than 10 hours later (after re-working the electrics and buying some 'stuff' for the 3-point and mower), I've got about $5000 in it and it is puking trans/hydro fluid out the front inspection plate (we're talking gallons/minute)...

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
