Thanks! Yeah the circle lights might be the late 70's and the rectangular lights the early 80's as they changed to the 90 series around '85.

Thanks for the replys!!

well ladsi have a 110 90 good yoke. But i need a bigger one to pull on the
hills. What do ye think of the 160-90 or 180-90s. Are they reliable and economical for their size?

yourpics

mustbe a big load if the 110-90 cant handle it on the hill!!

160-90 is a great tractor, real workhorse, not sure about the economy, i didnt pay much attention as i was driving her for a contractor

DT stands for Dual Traction(four wheel drive)

H stands for Hydrostatic which is rare, some 680's had it and some of the larger models(1180, 1380, 1580 etc) had it. It was a cluthless shuttle I believe.

In regards to the models with the round headlights and white stripe on the cab they were built between 1975 and 1980. The models with the square headlights and no stripe were built between 1980 and 1985.

By the time they came on the market here, other manufacturers had more modern gearboxes and more spacious cabs, and really New Holland dealers were pushing their blue tractors.

I think most were non turbo if not all leaving the factory. A lot put a turbo on them though and it was a successful job.

Thanks nekarsulm. Seems based on the posts that mechanically they are fine maybe outdated but I am not worried about that once it does the work I have in mind for it and it is a dependable tractor.

Should be decades of life still in one.
Just watch for rusty patches in the cab, even though they were galvanised.
