Dave,
   I have a 1255 4 wheel drive and have been pleased with it. Plenty of power for such a small tractor (43 HP) It is built by Fiat and parts are fairly easy to come by. I am particularly surprised at how well it starts in cold weather....never needs ether or a heater. I have pictures posted in the photos section of this site. If the price is reasonable, I would consider it.
