I ran a 1955 for 20 years as my big tractor. They are good on fuel and start good. The 6/3 trans is a nice set up and they a pretty graceful tractor to drive. Make sure it has the oval oil cooler on the rh side of the engine, this is a 1955 engine. The engines have kinda small rod and main journals but with some updates they can be mad to hold together ok. The main problem was the two piece pin bushings would get worn and start pounding this would then break a rod bolt and out the rod came through the side of the block. If the engine has the newer 1 piece wrist pin bushings and the updated 12 point rod bolts it will hold together fine as long as the rod and main bearing clearance is within spec. This is not an engine to lug but with 18 speeds there is no reason to as they have a very nice gear selection with a speed for any job.
