Good Deal or Dumb?

I have a wide-front, power steering, show quality WD-45; Good tires and the works. No sale! Neighbor has a good looking Int 574 gas with problems that he wants to trade even up. I have a hunch the problems all stem from hydraulic fluid leaks from steering seal. Stain signs under that area & no hytran on dipstick & no brakes & it doesn't want to go into gear. Should I trade a good running AC for a problem 20 yr newer Int?
 
He is willing to trade, isn't he? I would, too, if I were him. If I were you, I wouldn't consider this deal. If you want a 574 with problems, buy one and keep your WD-45. According to my blue book, a high vale trade-in on a WD-45 is $1200. This 574 would need to be considered below average. Trade-in for an average 574 is $1700, below average about $1000 or less - perhaps as low as $700.

On the other side, a really top 574 is worth more than a really top WD-45 on the retail market.
 
Don't let go of your WD-45. You'll kick yourself for years to come.

We used to have a D-17, a WD-45, and a WD. Well when we downsized, they sold all three tractors (I bought the WD myself, as I couldn't bear to see it go, and it was the best priced of the three), but I'd have loved to have hung on to at least the WD-45 too.
 
There is an old country song " We Must Have Been Out of our Minds".
The song would not apply but the title does.LOL

All in fun.

In short: No.
