Well I went and did it. I bought a 185 today. It needs a good bit of work. Its got water in the oil, so I know a complete engine overhaul is in the cards. It also has some steering problems and no brakes. I figure either I am a glutton for punishment, or I'm one straw short of a bale. All I could see when I looked it over was a good tractor needing some serious TLC.

I wasn't able to bring it home today and will have to go back next week to pick it up. This will be my first work on a 185. All the AC's I've worked with have been D-Series. My dad has worked on them before, and he said he can still supervise.

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.
