Well, I drove that tractor that I was talking about last week. Here is what I found:
1) Cold start was quick, no smoke, no sputter and tops out good.
2) The RPM/Tach is not working. could be cable or the unit itself.
3) The steering linkage(tierod ends) on the linkage from the gearbox under dash to front axle have lots of play and both need replaced.
4) Left brake is excellent but right brake is nothing. I got off, walked around and depressed pedal with hand while watching valve body under floor plate and the steel line leading from the valve body back to whereever it goes has a hole rubbed in it and fluid is running out when pedal depressed. This one is an easy fix!
5) The left rear rim looks rotted about 2 inches around valve stem. This is chloride so I'm saying the tires are filled. What does a new or good used rim cost?
6) The left trans. shift lever is bent and spins in its base. Have to hold it just right to get it to go into high range or park. I thought these levers had a pin in them to keep them from spinning but not that familiar with it. I am also assuming that the end of this shift lever in transmission may be bent or worn. What do you all think?
7) Tractor turns a lot shorter to the right than to the left. I assume this could be adjusted!

Overall with the weaknesses noted, the tractor has good sheet metal, paint, power and PTO seems to work, 2 point works smooth. They are wanting 5500.00 and won't budge. What do you all think?

If you compare that deal to the great deal I got on my '74 830, I would tell them $4000 cash and no more. With what you say is wrong so far your looking at $600+ to fix and do it right and that would be just too much. If you can look it over real good and give them a list and have them fix everything on the list, $5500 would still be a little high, but more realistic. My 830 is a little rough, but I have had numerous people offer between 4 and 5 grand for it before I done the clutch. By the way the clutch job cost me $1300. I would pass unless they will fix things for you or possibly throw in a good shredder or something to sweeten the deal. Jeff
