Dad had 2 as I was growing up. The worst because it was the main tractor was a Farmall 400. He bought it used and had the block crack out at the rear main, head cracked twice, ta went out, rear end twice. He then traded for a new 706 and was pleased with it. It did use quite a bit of gas and they usually needed an overhaul after 3000to 3500 hours of hard usage. He bought a second one (used) a year after the first. The other bad one was a 1939 Oliver 70. Hard to start, and the transmission was a problem. It worked in 1st 2nd and 5th and low reverse. He tore it apart and fixed it.

Ended up trading it in with a 2mh picker for an Oliver picker.
