I have the opportunity to purchase a IH 674 from a friend. I've read most all the questions and answers regarding subjects on the 674 but really never got a feel for what the tractor is worth and how "good" of a farming tractor it really is. Maybe someone can help me out. Here's the facts...
1976 IH 674 Dsl.(239D) w/ loader(don't know #)
original owner since new, 6200 hrs, overhauled by dealer at 5000hrs, tires are 40-50% rear and 75% front, 3pt, dual remotes, excellent overal shape including paint and tin. I haven't asked what he wants for it or haven't made him an offer, that's were I need advice. Help please!!! Thanks

Sounds like the twin to the one I had. I was very happy with it, except the noise of the 4 cylinder at combat speed was hard to get used to for an old 6 cyl. Oliver man. Earplugs are recommended. I used it for 2 years, everything worked great. Loader used tractor hydraulics, and was about the right speed. Draft sensing on the 3 point was excellent, hydraulicly actuated PTO worked fine, and it handled well haying. One thing to look at is the shifting mechanism- its kind of a monkey-motion setup on the driver's left side, and guys didn't lube the joints, resulting in stiff operation and possible problems with trying to jam it in gear. Like any remote shifter (like cabover trucks, also), the key is to go straight to neutral, and wiggle it back and forth in neutral before shifting into the new gear. If you do that, you'll never get stuck in two gears. I stole it for $4,500, later sold it for $6,200, which I think was a reasonable price.
