Are there hydro's to avoid? I like the looks of the narrow frame tractors, but the slightly newer age wide frames are good looking too. So I probably would be looking at tractors in the late 60's and early 70's.
What should I look for if I consider one?
Also, how long did they still use the shaft drive transmissions similar to my 124 or a hydro version?

I think you will get some good information if you can provide some ideas for its intended use (i.e mowing, plowing, tilling) and what your lot/acreage/terrain consists of. There are many different models, and just like people, some are better at one thing while udders are better on mothers.
