Let me chime in here with yet another rant about the 574.

In my opinion, excellent loader and utility tractor, very maneuverable, left hand control on the shuttle shift, and easy to get on and off.

Hottest thing this side of an oven if you use it for extended operation in haying or tillage in hot weather, worse if you have a loader on it, worst if it is the gas model.

Before you buy one make sure that the parking brake works, or figure on a two day thrash to replace it, and get the remains out of the hydraulic system. Once the parking brake works, get a strobe light about the size of a lighthouse, and hook it up to the parking brake indicator. The brake holds the tractor from rolling quite nicely, but it can be overpowered by putting tractor in gear and taking off. After a few incidents of this the $200 brake band will disintegrate and distribute itself throughout the transmission and hydraulic system, eventually plugging the filters, or something more expensive. The service brakes will do this also, but they will last a long time before it happens.

On the particular tractor I am familiar with, both front spindles have been replaced, but I am sure that is from operator abuse/accident. It was previously owned by a young man who loaned it out indiscriminately among his friends and casual acquaintances. This, in itself, indicates that except for the parking brake problem, it is a relatively tough and trouble free machine.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the ... [Read Article]
