(Congrats to this board. I appreciate that there is so much advice and assistance for these old tractors.)
I'm considering buying the tractor at the link below. Its been completely overhauled. It needs some body work and paint. The 3 point drops at low rpms or when turned off. As long as the PTO is running or engine rpms are up, it holds fine. Any advice on if this is a big problem to fix. Also, any suggestions on a reasonable value of this tractor.

In looking at those two pictures, and juxtaposing them with the word "overhauled," I don't buy it.

I don't see any signs of any working being done on that machine. Now I am only looking at two photographs. But I can't see a new nut or bolt anywhere. Nor do I see any signs of greasy hand prints or any other indicator that a wrench has been on that tractor in a long time. And certainly no sign that I can detect of an overhaul of any kind.

Not to mention the rather obvious kit bashing aproach that has been done with regards to missing parts. Nice job on the grill though.

Now the machine may well be a nice running little machine. That I cannot tell. Just a bit on the natty side.

So I would aproach the machine from the perspective of not restored, but natty. I would also be extremely suspect of any and all comments the seller makes. As the seller apparently is dishonest, calling it "overhauled."

I would probably end up passing on the machine only because the owner is probably asking for an overhauled price on the machine. That I would not be willing to pay.

Nolan,

Thanks for the input. I should have explained that the tractor was overhauled about 2 years ago and has been used on a daily basis since.

For some reason the URL did not take when posting this message. The pictures can be seen at:homestead.com/americanhome/tractor.html
