Newbie about to purchase first tractor.

Hello,

This is my first post on your forum. I have been around 60's autos but am a newbie to 60's tractors. I would really appreciate your help in regards to an International B-414 diesel. I've searched the site and found lots of great information but could not find many posts on it's worth.

We recently purchased an old farm that was mainly used for hay. We have the opportunity to purchase the B-414 tractor that the previous owner was using. It comes with an International 1501 loader. I have no clue as to what it would be worth. The old fellow is asking $4000 CDN ($3000 US).

The tractor is in need of some TLC but it's engine was rebuilt by a local diesel shop about 2 years ago. The hour meter(if it works!) reads about 2500 hours. It needs a shot of ether to get going. The rear tire sidewalls are cracked and the pto output shaft seal seems to be bad as the rear of the pto and the inside of the rear wheels are full of grease/oil.

Our plan is to use the tractor as a hobby and not for full-time farming. We need to give an answer very soon. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated!!
