Cockshutt 35 Deluxe

A Cockshutt 35 came up for sale locally this week. I don't know much about it other than what it says on TractorData: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/6/5/656-cockshutt-35.html

The guy selling it says when he bought it, it was supposed to be running but he was never able to get it fired up when he got home. I'm not sure when it was last running.

It comes with a loader (no bucket) and tire chains. One of the front tires is flat and possibly ruined.

The price is at $1200 CAD, which is just a hair under $900 USD.

Anyways, I haven't talked to the seller yet, and before I do, I want to find out more about these tractors. The bulk of what I know about Cockshutt come from Wikipedia.

How is parts availability? I know the 35 was a low-production model. Is there a lot of parts overlap with the 30?

Is the Hercules GO198 pretty reliable? A beast to maintain?

Is the tractor reasonably well built for loader work? (other than the fact I don't think it has power steering...)

I'd be tempted to buy it and repair it at that price, but I'd like to get a sense of what I could be up against!
 
The GO198 engine is as reliable as any other 4 cylinder motor if properly maintained. They are a 3 3/4 bore with a dry sleeve. A lot of parts are available but are very pricey to repair and rebuild. Some problem areas are fly ball governor cage breaks and not available. Block can easily crack if not properly maintained and most of the time are not fixable only by replacement. Good blocks are hard to find. They were used in the Cockshutt 35, Golden Arrow and 550. Military applications (mostly diesel) pumps and generators. Also found in some tree chippers, street sweepers and welders. If the motor turns over, no visible cracks, no water in the oil then the price is about right. Irv
