Bruce,
I have both, and each one has it's good and bad points. The I-H tractors
are far more plentiful around here, so they are a little less expensive
to buy. They are both about as tough as nails but fairly simple and easy
to work on. I like them both a lot more than the green ones too. Maybe
you should get one of each. :o)

Just finished a B "restoration."  Never again!  More trouble and 
expense than it's worth.    John W.
