So,I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 1969 Massey Ferguson 135. 3 cyclinder diesel, with around 4000 hours on it. She ran but was in some need of some love. After about 15 hours of tune ups including replacing the PTO seal in the back, a new temp gauge, wiring for the LED lights going on it and a flush of all existing fluids and replacement, she's almost ready. She needs new front tires before she runs around the farm. But here's our new food plot, tree moving, planting tractor!

You will love that tractor It's handy easy to operate and very easy on fuel. We had one on the farm when I was a kid dad bought it new in 1966. I spent 100's of hours on it and I wish I could find it to buy back.

I have an upright muffler on my diesel Kubota and ended up making a brace for it as I was constantly going under tree branches. This took it's toll on the muffler over time. I used part of a bicycle frame and attached it to my cab. Just a FYI about an exposed vulnerable to damage part of your tractor.
Nice tractor, it should serve your purposes well.

I agree nice tractor, should be a workhorse. I have an old mid 50's international 300 utility. Would like to eventually pick something up about 20 years more advanced.
