Hi, check the archives on this site for 454,495 these are the older and newer versions.

Check the parking brake to see if it will hold.
If it won't hold chances are someone drove tractor with parking brake on and now there is bits of parking brake band floating around in the hydraulic oil. These bits will eventually clog something in the hydraulic system. This the weak piont of these tractors. When the parking brake is engaged there is an indicator light on the dash but a lot of times the lamp burns out and
people forget the parking brake. The newer 495 has a flashing warning light.

Other than this one problem these utility tractors are excellent. The 179D engine will last a long time with minimal maintance. My brother has a 454D that is over 30 years old and has about 15K hrs on it and is still running well.

My 2 cents
