Thanks for the replies! Just to claify and add info I forgot in my previous post... I verified with the diesel shop about the motor job and it was confirmed. It is a reputable shop and he indicated that the motor was disassembled, new pistons, rings, cylinders sleeves, new bearings, oil pump, etc. He also indicated that the starting problem has to do with the glow plug switch. He said that he found a used IH switch and was going to sell it to the owner for $60 CDN but the owner did not want to pay that amount. So it MIGHT be an easy fix. The accumulation on the wheels and on the rear of the pto is the same grease as on the surface of the pto shaft. It does not appear to be hydraulic fluid. I can get rear tires from Firestone for about $290 CND. The front ones are in decent shape. As to what we'll need it for...that's kinda of a tough question to answer. Being new to the agricultural "field", we're not exactly sure of all the uses for the tractor. We were going to cut hay and bale but the the old fellow sold the hay cutter, rake and baler AFTER we told him that we would buy it. We might be able to get the cutter back...so it limits the immediate use to keeping the fields in a "trimmed" condition. We might be using it for fencing duties and to clear snow from the driveway in the winter. And as for our budget...$4000 CDN is about the upper limit.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
