I would not go with it. The MF 2200s where and OK machine but there where not many of them. Parts are not the easiest to find. As jdemaris stated I would pass. The easiest to find parts for are the Case hoes. There where many more of them built in the older hoes. I like the controls on the newer JD hoes better but they bring more more and you just need to dig. The 530 was the first really good hoe. The JD hoes in the early sixties used that wiper swing motor. It would not swing a full bucket up hill new. The 530CKs can be bought for $3000-5000. You can get later 580s for around $10000 in a 2wd. If you don"t plan on keeping the hoe long term than buy a better hoe and then just resale it later. If you do that then buy a better later model hoe as it will be able to resale easier.
Here is a link to a 1975 Case 580B that has been rebuilt for $10500.
