International 2500 tractor, exact year unknown (from the 70's), heavy duty commercial model made for loading, hydraulic power steering, power brakes, PTO, no 3 pt hitch.
New battery, alternator, starter, and seat.
I bought this tractor with a rod through the side of the block. I didn't want to replace the engine until I knew everything worked on it. So I basically disabled the dead cylinder so that I could run it on 3 cylinders instead of 4 so that I could see that the hydraulics, trans, etc worked before I put any money into it. Thing is, it runs so good on 3 cylinders that I haven't bothered looking for an engine, just been using it the way it is. Still plenty of power, starts right up and runs great. If you were to buy this tractor, I would probably still keep an eye out for a good deal on a used engine for the future, but in the mean time I'd put 'er to work.
Couple of repairs needed: the bucket pins are the wrong size, so it should really get some larger pins put in. And also, it has a pretty good oil leak. Possibly rear main seal or at least towards the rear of the engine. I was going to put a catch pan under it just to keep the oil off the ground. Neither of these repairs have to be done to use the tractor, just thought I'd mention it.
I'm selling it because I bought a new project, a smaller 4x4 loader, so I'm selling this one because I won't need it anymore. Price is $2000 FIRM, I know this tractor would sell for around $5000 if it weren't a 3 cyl, so I think that's a fair price. NO TRADES, please don't ask. You can call my cell 906-280-0225, or email adisky@yahoo.com

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
