I believe I'm leaning towards these brands: Allis Chalmers, JD, Oliver & Ford. I really like the 3010's and 4020's JD, seriously they really look great! I don't have much to spend, but want something that will last, meet my needs now and in the future, as well as resale value if I choose too. In fact, I do plan to have the tractor restored, if needed! Only one problem, they seem to want an arm and leg for the JD 3010 & 4020's! I think my cousins would shoot me if they new I was even thinking about a JD. They are CASE and AC folk. My second choice would be AC D15 or D17 narrow front. I'm not convinced on the D19, it does seem a bit large for my needs. In fact, I'd like something around the 50 hp, would work fine. Man, I got educated quick on this site, this is addictive stuff, buying a tractor. I can't wait to tear some ground up! LOL. I appreciate all the insight and guidance. Another consideration, is Fords 3000 & 4000 if possible. They seem to be a reasonably good tractor. Do the JD 3010s and 4020s have power steering? How about the AC D15 and D17s? or the Ford 3000 & 4000? Question: On most tractors JD, Oliver, etc...are the fronts interchangeable? for instance, narrow front swapped with a wide front, or vice versa? Is there kits available to do this? expensive? or not possible? Thanks, Dennis

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
