Which would you pick?

[multi power]

The blue one
Nae surprise there then
Yes they can go porous but a Powerstar can be fitted
Or a new short motor
Plus the gearbox and back end are virtually indestructible

once the powerstar is fitted in would a 40 series cab fit? could make it a tractor then

JD for sure. Ford with q-cab would be the best choice.

And the deere is the most classic one. Looks like '76. Ford '86 ? case ??

 

[SuperTwo]

Don't know the years of the Deere or the ford, the case is a late '88 build.

I used to rake with a turbocharged 3130,it was a cracking tractor,it drove like 4000hrs but had done 15000,had a 7610 with the after thought 4wd front axle (zf) it could pull till it blew a hole in a piston.

40 series Deere came out about 1979/80 so the 3130 will be older.

 

[multi power]

if you look under the bonnet of the ford the build date is there

 

[wr.]

The green one for me. Wish we'd never sold ours

 

[SuperTwo]

Seems a good few people like the 3130, funny I cant seem to warm to it at all.

I would have the 7610 shame it's not a super Q cab
