Without getting the book out I think hp was mid to high forties, seems like 48 was the number. Its a great old tractor and shares a lot of parts, but cosmetic parts can be difficult to find. From my perspective I have found MM used smaller, less robust, parts suppliers which have been bought out or disappeared altogether. Yes, parts can be more difficult to get and sometimes you have to go with a total replacement rather than just repair, which can be expensive For hobby farming it will be fine. Be sure it is complete and everything works, such as the hydraulics and powersteering. It's just hard to beat JD,IH and Ford for parts, because they made so many of them. If not OEM, than reproductions are available. Some AC's such as the WD45 have a lot available, but most Olivers are similar to MM.
