The 185 is another good tractor. I don't know where you live, but the 301 doesn't like starting in cold weather without being plugged up unless it has been overhauled with different rings/pistons than stock design. If the tranny doesn't jump out of gear and the powerdirector is in good shape, you can hardly go wrong with that tractor. We used to have 3 180s that were the "big" tractors on our horse farm (pulled 3-16s and a 20 ft batwing in some hilly horse pasture). The hundred allis series is also simple. It is based a lot off of the D series, which was very dependable. 5500 is fair if it is in great mechanical shape. hours and overall condition will make a big difference. A beat up one is not worth much, but you said it is in good shape, so that should be close to a fair price. I don't know why you wouldn't feel more comfortable with diesels. The injection system is a lot less complicated than the ignition on a gas. In a diesel, if it isn't firing, you know it is not getting fuel or not getting it at the right time. They are pretty simple once you get to know them, which doesn't take too long. Let me know if you have any more questions.
