I've had mine since 1981, it's a 1970. Overhauled it in'97 and it wasn't burned out. They are good old tractors, good lugging power and they were dependable. Went through a few injection pumps in the '90's until I got a rebuilt from a different source and never had trouble again. You will want to wear hearing protection, though. They are noisy.
