Are they good tractors? What's some of yours opinions about them. Is parts pretty easy to come by ? Can my local Case/ IH dealer still be able to get parts? Thanks
 
I had a 574 and now have a 674. I like them. I like the side shift pattern. Nice handling tractors but a little light on the front. I have a 2250 loader on the 674 and its the nicest to take off and put back on. 2 minutes off and 2minutes on. Ih dealer should have any part you need.
 
In the 1970s I was a salesman at a IH dearlership in Lincolnshire here in the UK when these tractors were new. Sold a lot of 454s, 574s and 674s and they were all very good reliable tractors that gave no trouble. They had a very good cab on them and we took a lot of MF tractos in part exchange because their cabs was just a frame coverd with plastic bags. MJ
 
I am a John Deere fan myself but yes the 574 was a very good tractor.When we bought and sold tractors in the 90's we sold alot of them.The parking brake could be a problem if someone forgets to release it.Parts support should be good.
 
Hi, very good utility tractor. As someone else said the parking brake being left on can put brake band material into the hydraulic system but this was probably done years ago and the material has probably all been filtered out by now.
The 74,84,95 and 30XX series tractors are basically all the same with a few improvements with each model. The 3032 was made up until 1997.
If it is a Diesel, the German built D-239 engine is excellent and was used in many ag, industrial and other equipment. I recommend adding a little Diesel fuel conditioner or a couple table spoons of 2 cycle engine oil every time you add Diesel fuel. The Bosch injection pump was designed when Diesel fuel had more lubricity and the front drive shaft seal relied on the fuel for lubrication. If the seal leaks it will fill crankcase with Diesel.
So pull crankcase dipstick and smell for Diesel fuel.

Good luck
