Those 1805s were decent in their day. Sadly now they have outlived their usefulness. Being that they are articulated they are hard to work on and 4WD tractors of this vintage tend to demand quite a bit of maintenance. This particualr one probably doesn't have a 3pt or pto. Tin is probably rustedout, cut off or bent up. Cab is probably shot. I saw one near Randolph last weekend for sale. Someone decided they didn't like the 3pt. arms and torched them off.
Let's face it. You can find good row crop tractors in that hp range now. The smallest mainline 4wd tractors on the market these days are starting out at 330hp. These old Masseys, Olivers/Whites, Cases, etc are just too small and impractical for the needs of todays professional farmer. I live in WI. Farmers that buy these old girls park them on the fence lines of their wettest fields. They only use them to pull out a stuck 250hp row crop tractor in a wet year.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
