My first tractor was a Farmall B. Gutless

My second tractor was a 4 year old 464 with side (shuttle) shifter, gas, 900ish hours new paint and $4500.

I sold it at about 1500ish hours and bought Fords and JD's. The Fords do the small stuff (sized like yours) and the JD's the big jobs.

After having the Fords you mentioned I doubt you would be happy with it.

Hard to start in the winter, hard to get on and off, For it's hp it would only pull a 2x14 plow in heavy clay and lumbered at that . Exhaust manifold kept breaking, shuttle shift was always getting hung up....in general I just didn't like it.

I sold it to a neighbor for what I paid for it several years later. He still has it but only mows.

Haven't owned red since....except for a currently owned MF 35 which I use for my mowing.....which, by the way is hard to get off also cause there is no room in the cockpit(station).

I know IH sold a lot of those for industrial backhoe and loader/scraper work with the shuttle shift.

One man's view.
