I have no major complaints about them. We had one till about 99 and traded it for an 8970. My only real complaint was the seat wasnt very comfortable and it wasnt a powershift so if u needed to drop a gear it was ruff but it did have a hi low switch that helped. Other than that it was an excellent tractor for us with no major problems other than a few small oil leaks here and there. We used it for diskin and field cultivaitn and it pulled our 25" implements very well.
 
Biggest problem to watch for is the same one common to pretty much all '65 and newer Fords... cylinder wall cavitation. Have the coolant tested if possable, change regularly, use FW30 conditioner (or equivalant), and maitain oil, filters, etc. like you normally would. Good tractors, overall. My cousin had one, I have a TW35... like them.
