I am looking at a case/ingersoll 448 tractor a guy has for sale for 950 locally. He SAYS its in great shape, the deck, engine, three point hydraulics all work. My question is, my dad said he did not like his 446 because the hydro pump on it was aluminum or something and had 'ears' that were prone to breaking. He said he would steer clear of the tractor if it were him. Now, i don't know about the 448, is this unit GOOD? Is it reliable? I am not looking for a restoration project, this unit will be used for mowin or whatever, but will be cared for. Are there any week points on this tractor? Does anyone know what im talking about with the hydraulic pump? He also said the clutch for the mower were ALWAYS trouble on his unit.

So, what do you guys have to say about it? I have no idea what year this one is as i have not looked at it.

I can't speak for the tractor you are looking at but can only relate to the ones I owned. I had a 83 Case, 85 Case/Ingersoll and an 88 Case/Ingersoll. I got rid of the 88 in 1999 as my dealer, LaPean imp. stopped handling mowers. Here is the issues I had in the 16 years with the units. 2 starter selenoids (sp), i set of points, and 1 clutch unit(the lining came loose). I'm not sure what ears your father is speaking of but these are the only problems I had. If the dealer was still in business I would be looking at the Ingersoll again.

Bearings for the mower deck are available from any parts house. They still make the Ingersoll.
