Satoh S650G worth? Power Steering Required?

I"m looking at a Satoh S650G early japanese tractor thats for sale. It has been sitting for a few years and won"t start. It has a nice front end loader but no power steering. Has anyone driven one of these with a loader and w/o power steering? I"m just not sure it would handle the load very well without it. When I try to turn the steering wheel it is very tight like maybe it has power assist or the steering box is damaged, or it just won"t turn when not moving. Did some of these tractors have power assist that didn"t include a large hyd. cylinder? I can"t see any visible signs of power hydraulics up there, but a friend of mine says it could have power assist. I"ve seen pictures of some Satohs with a large hyd. cylinder that goes in place of the long steering rod from the pitman arm to the front axle, this one does not have it. Any info regarding this or the worth of the tractor would be great. The tractor is in fairly good condition, hour meter reads 474 hrs but looks to be early 70"s and previous owner painted up to look like a John Deere. Curious as to how many hours this little Mazda engine can handle. I hear engine parts are very costly. thanks, Dave

Go into the archives here in this forum and select keyword and then type in the tractor name and model number. You aren't going to like what you read but better now than later. I too have heard that parts availability is brutal and when you do locate what you need, you visit your banker first.

My brother had one a few years ago and the best thing that happened to it was that it got stolen.. Parts were out of sight in price and took a lot of time and trouble to locate and there was no dealer support network.
