I got mine 5 months ago. I paid 5k for her. She was 80% torn down, and the front half had been cleaned and primed. I have gone completely through this tractor while putting it back together. Started her up on gas about 6 weeks ago, then she wouldn't run on diesel. Pulled top of injector pump off and removed plunger valve. Valve in bottom was stuck. Good ole PB Blaster soak in a jar for 8 hours, came back and valve spring had pulled valve loose. Installed, and she runs on the D side like it was brand new. Now that I know that mechanically she is fine....I have pulled injector pump, Manifolds, distributor, radiator, and everything else that is in the way so as to get a GREAT paint job. I believe that as nicely done as this girl will be, and the way she runs, and she has factory wide IH front....I don't think you could wrestle her away from me for under 15k and in a few more years...it might take 20k or more. I know this sounds crazy but a whole lot of dual fuel motors got replaced when the head cracked. It was the weak spot of dual fuel engines.(The cause was not allowing the engine to warm-up properly on gas before switching to diesel, or running them out of water)Many a dual fuel was replaced by a gasser. Always look closely on these era tractors that you aren't looking at a gasser that was originally a dual fuel. DREW
