Hey Guys,
Looking for some advice on what to look for when buying a 3000 and if the tractor im looking at is a good deal or not. Ive owned an old Ford 8N for a little while and am looking for something a little newer with a few more add ons and power of course. Going to be using it for snowblowing and work around the property. Its advertised as a 1967 Ford 3000 Diesel 3 Cyl 47 HP. Comes with a agro trend 6ft blower, which has only be used a handful of times and was bought 3 years ago from brand new. Has live PTO and 8 speed trans, that's about all the info ive gotten so far and the only thing that has been a concern to me is the hours, it has 7000 hours on it, now I could be totally wrong here as I don't know much about the diesels but is ths considered high hours? I know the diesels usually last a long time but don't really know what kind of hours would be high? what should I be looking out for? tractor has new battery,starter and block heater last year and apparently runs great, they said they would take $4500 Canadian for it wth the blower, what do you guys think?
