This morning I looked at and test drove a 1968 1030.
It is a bigger feeling tractor than I was expecting. There was not as much room in the cab as I was expecting also. These were not bad surprises, just not what I was expecting.
It was about 40 degrees this morning and it started up with no ether! That's a good sign, isn't it.
I ran it through all the gears and it seemed to run smooth. There were no obviously leaks, the front end is tight.
I am excited about taking it home to help me farm my 60 acres (hay), light dirt work, etc... and I am wondering if there is any last minute advice before I commit to the $3000.
It is also one LOUD S.O.B. Is there anything I can do to quite it down a little. I need to put a floor matt in, but what else can I do?
