Hi guys,
I am looking for a little advice. I have a very nice 1755 diesel. The motor was just overhauled, the 3 speed never misses, the paint looks great. It has been a very good tractor to me. It just doesn't have the Hp I need for my soils. I have a gentleman that has has a 1978 2-135 that wants to straight up trade for my 1755. He want's mine to put a loader on. The issue is the condition of it. It has a cracked exhaust manifold, the ac doesn't work. The paint is ok The cab doesn't look too bad. The hour meter says 5400 hours, but doesn't work. The 3 speed shifts fine. Hydraulics work. The motor runs well. The rear tires are about 50% and the fronts are weather-checked, but hold air. My question is would you take on this deal or run away? I need the extra HP and it fits that bill. It is over all not in that bad of shape, but am unsure if this is a good tractor or not. Are the cabs in these very quiet? How long do the motors and 3 speeds last in these. Are 2-135's a good machine? Thanks for any and all advice.
