This is a quick question for guys who have seen these. I have only seen them in passing and have heard that they are tough to work on/restore. Is this true? A guy is offering to sell me one. I know that they are kind of rare but is it worth it from a parts standpoint. Am I going to be throwing my money into a pit for something that I can't maintain? What should I look for BEFORE I buy this/If I buy it? Do any of you know someone who can restore this? The engine and transmission are good. Just needs paint and comsmetics...

You stated that engine/transmission are good, there isn't much more to them. If the tin is in decent shape, you're just looking at a paint job. They may be considered a bit "rare", but are not a real high dollar collectible. If it was an MTA-D it would be. The other part of this is how much can you do yourself? To pay someone to "restore" one could get expensive quickly. I happen to like them, so it's a labor of love to me. good luck

Jesse I have restored a MD by the parts book for show and a Super MD I use for plow days and to use on the farm. I like to but new brakes and seal on. Take the radiator to shop and have it put in new shape most of the time it gets recored. Rebuild the injector pump and injectors. Run the valves and new valve cover gasket. New belts and hydralic hoses. Wires and lights need to be like new. All the gauges need to be new. Check the clutch and maybe put in new clutch and pressure plate and have the fly wheel faced. Run to find all the oil leaks. Change all fuilds and filters. New tires front and rear. Then for the paint take it down, prime and seal then paint. If you send me your e-mail I will send you a picture of my MD.

The MD is notorious for engine problems. Although a few good ones do exist. A large part of the problem was with the head itself. Low water levels often led to cracking as did improper shutdowns. Of the ones I know of they seem to be lazy engines. Also the heads are expensive because they are scarce.
