340 $ and other questions...yes those questions

Posted by karl f on June 13, 2006 at 20:11:10 from (4.254.84.7):

i can't believe i'm posting one of *those* posts.
anyhow there is a red utility tractor for sale locally with no model plates on it, similar sheetmetal to a 560, and a c135 engine. tractor has all hydraulic loader, looks like live pto, NO fasthitch or 3 pt. just a drawbarlike an M. rear trans casting about the size of a C. has a 5 spd transmission, with 5th gear in the top right position.
tach shows 1200 hours. hmm
asking price is $3500. location central mn. looks like a repaint on the sheet metal. serial plate only has engraved serial numbers and option suffixes.
how many times you think that tach has been around? was a TA available on those models? looks good and fairly sound from 5 feet away. some obvious leaks of oil all over, nothing i wouldnt expect from a tractor. is 3500 what these things are going for now? i grew up with the 500$ used tractor mindset from my dad who's 64 yrs old. i'm 26. i know i should contact seller, get the tractor's history, and also test drive, but i want an up to date reference point of value from you guys. plan to use it as a farm/yard/hobby tractor. what capacity can i expect from the loader? as extreme a load as a 4x5 round bale? leery of the frameless design as our C's front has broken off at the block twice in the past 40 years getting pulled out of the mud.

thanks
