Low Hour 1855 at Auction

DanielKy · Mar 25, 2015

I found this auction on govdeals.com and I have no afflation with the auction. The tractor is advertised as only having 257 hours. Below is what was posted on the auction.

This tractor was used by the Nebraska tractor test lab to be pulled behind tractors under test as a load unit. The slicks provided the appropriate traction for testing and were also good for packing soil.

Interesting. That needs to wind up in somebody's collection.

DanielKy · Mar 25, 2015

That is what I thought.

It says 257 hours but actual hours are unknown so I would say it has much more than that by far. I would think it would take $2500 to $3500 in tires draw bar and 3pt parts and how knows what else to make it field ready. Neat tractor but I think I will pass, I have enough to work on now. Bandit

Randy,I want to clear something up,the parts I'am talking about are NEW only not used because that is all they will use.Sorry for maybe a misunderstanding.

No problem. There are more aftermarket parts for these things than most would believe though. If you're looking for NOS,you might be out of luck,but I've been to the A&I website and went through the list. You'd be amazed. Makes a difference too whether you're doing the looking yourself or have the stuff at somebody else's shop and have them looking. There might not be a lot of motivation for them to find some of this stuff.

Neat for sure! Doesn't appear to have an over/under in it either?

Poor thing must have sat outside most of it's life judging by how bad the dash is cracked up. It's a repaint, but at least all the metal is really straight.

Hard to believe 247 org hours, probably more like 3000+
The add says It had the injection pump and steering unit rebuild,those things don't wear out in a couple hunnerd.

Them tires don't look pristine either

It looks like the older block without cooler.
