[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 4357142, member: 718"] Old Antares can be a nightmare. It has a three speed powershift that is prone to have solenoids stick and engage two ratios at once with potentially catastrophic consequences. The gearbox is very lightly built and synchros can be prone to wear. It is an old tractor but spares will be as expensive as any newish tractor. However, a good one is really quite advanced with superb performance and economy. It has a four speed PTO for instance, and brakes in the front axle. Best idea is to get in touch with previous owner or owners to see what the history of the tractor is and in what condition it was sold. Whether there are any known major issues with it. Make sure it has its registration document, which is absolutely essential if it is to do road work. Getting a duplicate is a cumbersome process and an expensive one too. [/QUOTE]
