Possibly an estate tractor that some rich guy had. A Farmer I know got hold of a 1486 that was in mint show room condition with just a few hours on it, some rich guy had bought it and planted alittle corn for hire and that was it and it had always been inside, Looked like brand new in every way. I guess it does happen, but don't spend too much on it. Chances are the tach got disconnected at those low hours or something. It's also better to find one that has seen use over the years, because one with that few hours is going to have alot of oil leaks due to setting around and those gaskets all drying out, it's bad to just let a diesel sit, or a gas for that matter. Those tractors are plentiful and nice ones can easily be found. Plus, if you use one that has low hours like that, you would lose money because that would spoil it's high collector value and for the money thats probably going to go for, I'd look for a newer tractor with powershift.
