I'm not standing next to it, but is that original paint?? Pretty good looking tractor I'd say. Just like the one my Dad had except for the air conditioning. They are a really nice cab even tho not an Acousta cab. The 38 inch rubber gives you a much more acceptable road gear too.

 Nice! Of all the ones I have, I lean towards the 200 as my favorite. A very nimble machine.

Good looking tractor in my book. At my age any tractor I’m going to spend much time on needs a cab with heat and air. Maybe that might mean I need to retire.

I believe it is original paint. Getting attached to this thing already! Doesn’t show in the video but it has a new seat in it, big plus!
This one may just get used on a tractor ride or two. You know those mornings when it’s a bit cool. Or, if I get the air working, those days when it’s sweltry.

Nice! I can tell by the PTO shield its dual speed. Is it hyd. or manual engage? Year model? Hopefully it's a 74/75 with gated PD control. 2 things I would have to do first: drill rivets out of grill screen, remove screen and clean it up and paint and re-install with brass screws that won't rust. Then straighten muffler and paint with at least 2 coats of some good hi-temp paint. You'll be amazed at how better it will look. Fix the clutch and get the AC working and you will love the old gal.

Back in 1975 I made an adapter to be able to install a 5 inch chrome exhaust pipe on Dad's new 200. The large diameter and 48" long (?) tube makes a 301 sound bigger than it really is !!!!! and fills in the large hole in the hood.

Nice tractor Mike, you’re gonna like it once you get the clutch repaired. Looks to be in great shape.

Thanks guys! Yes, the controls are easy to like, very easy. Serial No. 5706 which Tractor Data shows as a late 73 model. It’s going to move into the shop at some point in the near future. Then I can start fixing on things. Have to move several others around to get it where I want it for the split.

The muffler has been taken care of. Grill is waiting, trying to get the combine ready to go now.
Edit; I meant to quote KyAllis.
