As a big fan of the AGCO lineage or of anything thats not a Deere or Farmall I will chime in here. 1855 or 1655. Just like the sharp clean lines with those 2 headlights up front above the classic checkerboard.

Jake, i sure didn't mean to say the agcos looked bad because thats far from the truth! Actually I can't say as if I have seen a bad one, there are alot of good looking agcos out there. As far as the oliver and whites go I'm just stuck in my ways and want to see the "older" sheet metal. That being said I would hate to see an 880 or 88 with a V8 in it. I know the binder lite folks could probably stretch one to fit but that would be just way to wrong. Love the 55 series and the pre agco rounded sheet metal. Also that 585 is a MM not an oliver engine and that would be just wrong in my mind

I've seen some bad Agco's, infact one of the ugliest tractors I've ever seen has got new Agco tin. I'm not going to post the link because that would just be mean but it's not pretty (but still prettier than my non-existent tractor!).
I’m with you on the retro hoods and the V-8 in an 88, I guess I’m a pre “old curmudgeon” and I’ll always believe that the sheetmetal and the block should match. The fact that the 585 is a Moline and not an Oliver is a good thing, it's from the right side of the White family tree  !Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service.

They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal. |

Thats were we might not agree jake, depends on the class. If we are talking unlimited i say as long as the engine was offered in that same line of tractors than go for it. If we are talking any other class than you are right it should match the sheet metal and in my mind the rear end! Just my thoughts though, and not everyone has the same.
Not sure on how to respond to the moline statement other than I think they are fun to watch but should always wear their true colors, and not take on the ones that kept them around
