While traveling, I saw this diesel 3000 with 6700 hrs on a consignment lot. Sticker under hood shows Model # C-10-132 and puts it as a C-3000, 10-Ag tractor, 1-diesel,3-live 540, 2? (may have miss read. Serial # A241918 is built in 1969 in Antwerp Belgium. Original paint and Tin is straight, fairly clean engine no excessive leaks. Fired right up - no smoke other than on startup. Tires OK - not checked. New Battery. Tach and hour meter operable. Grill in good shape. Power Steering. Likely kept under a shed.
What's with the big fenders?
Lot demonstrated PTO turns off and on, lift works, drawbar with 2' ball was in place and chained down so trailer tongue would not rise.
Story of tractor is Non profit christian camp/retreat outfit located on lake used tractor primarily for launching boats and pulling wagons full of campers. Youth counselors from metro areas (20 yr olds) would pull wagons up to campfire for fellowship time, kill tractor but leave key on causing battery to go done. I'm thinking key left on may be reason hour meter shows 6700 hours?
What do you guys think of 6700 hrs on 2.9 diesel? Price $2500. I'm thinking I need to go back and drive it check brakes and lift a trailer and get it as an upgrade to my tired 48 8N.
I know Ultradog loves his 3000.
