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.
