I Think It Was Worth The Time And Money

I am not in the business of selling tractor, rather fixing them. I will be selling this 1370 I have chose to save and repair. A customer suggested I leave the tractor as is and not invest a bunch of time and money in it to look good. The reason was of course I can sell it for less and the tractor would only be used for dirty feedlot and pumping manure chores. He is probably right, but I just did not feel good about putting something on the market that I was not proud of. Well I did not take his advice and spent approx $1600 more fixing and cleaning the cab and air seat, repaired the AC, man that felt good today and did some cleaning and touch-up painting. The tractor is not perfect but everything works now and I sort of like it this way even though I have to ask a higher price. Rod.

Good choice and now the cab interior matches the mechanical interior. It will be easier to sell and should bring top dollar. Any idea on the condition of the coolant or concerns of electrolysis? What size are the rear tires?

The best thing I did yesterday was to top off the a/c in the 2590 before rotary mowing a friends overgrown pasture.
 
Coolant is good and it had a filter installed when it was overhauled a few years ago. Tire size is 18.4-38 rear, 11.00-i6 front. Rod.
 
Any other pictures of that 1270? I would like to someday have one again. We don't farm anymore but I miss that ole beast. Our's was a 78 model with the aspirated air cleaner and no inlet through the hood. Almost everyone I see has the air cleaner inlet through the hood. Neighbor's have an earlier 1370 but it has smaller rear axles and smaller front axle tube on it than our's did. I found 2 pictures of it when we traded it off.

Rod, if I was looking for a "1370" I would spend the extra 1600.00 to buy from you. Also I would know you would service it when needed.
