I don't have a tractor but my dad has two of them. He has a 1977 International and a 1978 International (I forget the actual model codes but I think the 77' is a 454 or something like that and the 78' could be a 784). The 78' has a front-end loader and a cab. It also has some serious brake issues. No matter how many times, the tractor has been in to get those brakes fixed, the brakes continue to stop working. We reguarly have to bleed the brakes to get a bit of pedal pressure back. The coolest tractor I've driven though was an old Fiat that Dad used to own (it was mainly used to run a pump). Once we could get it started (a small fire burnt out the electrics, so we had to tow-start it) it was great fun to drive. I found a brochure picture of a similar Fiat http://www.puddingsworld.com/Machine...20PAGE%201.jpg
