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.
Yup, Internationals have NO BRAKES.. (Thats why I took it swimming. I was jumping up and down on the brake pedal thingy.. made no difference.)
