The first 4-wheeled vehicle I learned to drive was a Ferguson 30 tractor

Once competence was proven, I graduated to a Massey-Ferguson 65 (with power steering!) like the one below but sporting enclosed rear "orchard" fenders;

It was great spending many Summers on a farm in my youth

Living in the 'burbs (proving the adage that you can take the boy from the farm but not the farm from the boy), my dad bought a 1935 John Deere Model B tractor which we restored together.
Open a petcock (compression release), kick a little throttle in and spin the flywheel....and that big (coffee-can sized cylinders) TWIN barked to life.
Grab a gear, ease the hand clutch forward and you could boogie all the way up to 7mph or so

I like tractors, a lot. I only have 2 acres, but it's enough to need a tractor of some kind. A toy I've yet to obtain. I'm using 2 teenage boys now as a tractor...even though I do most the actual work.

Nice toys boys.

I refer to Massey Fergusons as "Mutherfuckersons" for a very specific reason. I had an absolutely abysmal experience with with one a number of years ago, and have been a solid green John Deere fan ever since. My needs these days are minimal, but I still flip the Mutherfuckerson dealership off every time I pass it.

Thank you. I did get the Ag tires, it gets quite muddy at our place through the winter and honestly until mid to late Spring. So it's Ag tires and muck boots until then. Can't wait to get it, we've been borrowing the neighbors tractor to mow our pasture but in return I've been mowing his 13 acres..... So he may not be so excited for me to get it.

It will also free me up to do much more with MY tractor as I always hesitate to use borrowed equipment for any type of job that may be hard on it.

Lesson I learned...

NEVER buy a Branson. Those cocksuckers, Kukje, do not support their product with parts, will happily tell you you're SOL, and use parts that are not interchangeable with any other manufacturer.... No parts, even on relatively new tractors.

Something breaks, you're having custom parts made...

You also have to drop the entire 500lbs+ front axle to remove the steering cylinder.

With Rachel's help, we went through a Fairbanks-Morse magneto from my neighbor's Allis-Chalmers Model B and it still produces zero spark.

It had already been rebuilt, and all the internal parts had been replaced except the condenser (which after testing still worked).
The maddening part is that the owner says it worked when he parked it...15 years ago (so what would die from just sitting) ?!?!?
Does anyone here have personal experience diagnosing these magneto issues?

Good news, a guy with hands-on experience checked over the Magneto and found the factory paint mark on the fiber gear which drives the rotor was in the wrong spot.
DOH!

We re-assembled it and it sparked to life for the 1st time in nearly 2 decades;

He also adjusted the carb that we had rebuilt and that helped a bunch too.
