This are great little tractors. On the low side, PTO and Drive clutch need frequent maintenance and the turf tires are short on traction for other jobs.
For some reason, IH put the drive clutch on the transmission instead of the engine. To stop the transmission from spinning with the clutch engaged, a brake is engaged. If this brake is not properly adjusted, you'll grind gears when you shift.
There are a coup[le of versions of the PTO clutch. At least one required the removal and disassembly to adjust it.
The the drive and PTO clutch systems were improved on the 184 models.
Great tractor. Price sounds reasonable.
