My cousin send me this CL ad. Don't know how serious he is about it, but he said he was thinking about having me go look at it. Just wondering what you all think about it. Seems pretty reasonably priced, for around here.

About the only negative thing I can see about it is the short bar axles in the rear. It would make duals more difficult.

Yeah, I figured it would be clamp-on duals only for that one.
He sent me another ad... we agreed this one would be one to avoid, both because of price and what the engine would probably be like if it really was making the claimed h.p.
how much h.p.?

The horizontal back window, rear fender flares, front 3pt and big rubber scream European spec model to me. Think the ones destined for NA had vertical back windows. The rear 3pt and transmission may be different than a NA model as European tractors are usualy faster on the road than NA tractors.

If it was putting out a true 180 HP, you're right, I'd stay away. However, it's likely a fabricated claim, or else "observed" on an older dyno by an operator who did not know how to read an analog dyno.
