Went to look at one tonight. S/N 3097, owneer was shredding with it and said it made a clanking sound and died. Batteries too dead to start, but you can hear the sound when cranking...sounds up high like a wrist pin. Heas gasket is blown, and can hear lack of compression one one hole. Antifreeze in oil too,
Now the good...excellent 18.4x34 CO-OP tires on back, decent clamshell fenders, tin is all straight, IH wide front, tight with no welds. Shifters tight, and he claims T/A works good. Always been inside too. Has the HEAVY one piece wheatland style rear wheel weights, and fast hitch. Only one remote . 2800 hours showing, but we both know that is not right.
Pretty sure he isn't going to want to spend the $ to fix it, and I'm thinking about making him an offer, as it would make me a good baler tractor. Overhauled lots of the old 282's so not much to scare me there.
Any ideas as to what a fair bid would be? Located in SE Nebraska.
