I've seen several references to a Farmall 300. I have one, so a couple of notes:

With original wide front end, they have a real poor turning radius.

They came with the IHC 2-point 'fast hitch' system, not a real 3-point. The early models did _not_ have a top link, later models did, and you can put in adaptor arms to make them 3-point. But, the action isn't quite the same, might not lift as high for things like a post hole digger, etc.

I have a row crop model with 3 hydraulics, 5-speed plus TA, the Fast Hitch, and a 2-way distributor hydraulic pump. Nice tractor. Not all have all those options.

The TA is the weak point of an IHC, fairly cheap to rebuild, and you'll have to every many thousand hours... ;)
