Had one with loader. Not the best tractor. The hydraulic system did not take much trash to cause it to clog up. In fairness, it worked better after I kept it under shelter. The hydraulic filter is at the right bottom of the transmission housing under the seat. It has a wire mesh filter which supposedly can be cleaned out occasionally. I found that after a couple of cleanings it was best to replace it. On the plus side, the hydraulics have fairly good capacity and the 3ph is very sturdy and well designed, but then JD had been using that design for a few years.
The transmission is finicky. The shift linkage is complicated and gives trouble. The linkage on the left bottom of the transmission needs to be adjusted just right. If the tractor can make use of all 8 gears you are lucky.
It does have independent PTO which worked fine the few times I used it.
The engine's head has an unusual gasket system which you need a look at a parts breakdown to understand. There is a steel plate at the top of the block holding all 4 sleeves. Fortunately I never had any personal experience with it but I understand that rebuilding an engine is interesting. I was told the same 45 hp engine is used in the 45 JD combine.
It is easy to get on and off with no levers in the floor to tangle your feet. Tractor is heavily built and is stable when operating.
I enjoyed the one as much as I could stand it and don't want another.
