Yea some of those tractors saw a lot of hours. Unlike today when one man can till and plant 1000 acres by himself. Back then the farmer would do morning chores then climb on a tractor and plow or disk or plant till evening chores the often would go back out in the field until 10 or later at night for weeks at a time to get everything in on time. Unlike todays tractors that will handle a 10-18 on land plow these guys were plowing with 1-14's, 2-12's and 3-14's. Guys were covering maybe 6-20 acres a day. Now they cover that and sometimes more in an hour. Never mind newer equipment like chisel plows and cultipackers that lets then cover ground like never before. What took my dad a week or 10 days can now be done in a day. So yea, lot of them old tractors could easily get 300 or more hours a year.
So no, I don't worry about how many hours are on it. I figure on an old Farmall H or M it's got a least 2-3 rebuilds on it.
