They are a fairly good tractor. The thing I really did not like about any of this series of AC tractors was that they still had the hand lever for the Power director/PTO. So even though they where built 68-73 they still did not have a true independent PTO.
I bought a real nice AC 180 in the mid 1980s. It handles fairly well but was terrible on the square baler. The short lever on the dash just was real hard to use and not jerk the tractor.
