Several things come to mind and will address them 1 at a time. You will need about a 100 hp tractor, don't get to wrapped up on the brand but find a GOOD local repair shop that can fix it and go with what they recommend. Case in point; I have a Massey, Dealer closed many years ago and have an excellent local shop that has a waiting list a mile long. He is getting ready to retire and am a bit worried. Have several IH and JD shops local so will be buying one of those brands. Next; When you get a tractor set the wheels out a minimum of 8' out side edge to out side edge, the wider the better. Add plenty of add on weight on the rear end and front. I prefer cast wheel weights on the rear as opposed to fluid in the tires (easier to fix a flat). Make sure the brakes work good and are in tip top shape. It is no fun to have a run away tractor on a steep hill side with no brakes. Been there, done that, and won't wish that ride on anyone. Lot of folks don't live to tell about it I did and am telling you. One more thing; whatever tractor you buy make sure the brakes work with the engine turned off. Some models are hydrolic and when you loose pressure you lose brakes. Two models that come to mind are Massey 1100/1130. Good Luck and hope this has helped a bit. Merle

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
