I have 3. Two IH and one CCC.
The 109 is a 74, bought new by my Dad in '75. I've had it near 6 years now. Think I have pretty much completed all the expected maintenance a near 40 year old tractor would require. A good workhorse, even at just 10HP. This one will be mine forever, then passed on to my son or Grandson, who I hope will keep it as well.
The 1450, I just bought. It needs loads of work. It has been ridden hard and put away wet, more than once. The "repair" man that worked on this tractor was it's worst enemy. This one I expect to be a keeper.
The 1210 was picked up same day as the 1450. Tell the truth I'm not sure why I even bought it. Again, the biggest issues with this tractor is the fellow that worked on it. It's a "smoker", big time. Not diesel either, lol. Have an idea it's been apart, and put back together wrong, like most everything else with the tractor. Debating on engine rebuild, or get oil leak and starting issue fixed in 1410 engine. Put the 14 HP in the 1210, and a 16HP(or total repower) in the 1450.
The last two are long term projects. It's be a long while before they are ready.
