If you have read my other messages, this is about the 3rd combine I said I'm going to get. Maybe I will finally get one. I know this is getting a bit too new, but how good is an International 303 combine? For $300, I'm getting one with a 11 foot grain head, a 2 row corn head, and cab. The guy says it runs great, operates great, but it's paint is real faded. The paint is no problems, because I have some experience with painting tractors and implements. Is there anything I need to look for? My book does not have a picture of a 303 with cab, so was one optional? The guy says the cab has heater and dustfilter.

The corn head on these is a nightmare to work on. Cabs were optional but most had them. When it comes to renewing combines it takes a very deep pocket.

Yea, a combine is about the most expensive thing to keep running. Take a look at the big belts, they cost $100-300 a piece, and you will notice a lot of them on a combine. The older ones are a little easier to work on, but sometimes when a bearing goes out, you need to cut 3 or 4 more out just to get to the bad one on the back of the shaft. Lots of variable speed sheaves on combines too, a worn one will cost $200 used, $500 or so new, plus labor.

Headers get a lot of wear, sickle sections, guards, and so on.

Don't want to sound negative, just check those things all out. You can easily spend $1000 to get a combine ready to hit the field.

Check it out closely. A bad engine on a mint combine would be alot easier to repair than one with a good engine & lots of other problems.
