IF you're talking a small tractor with a white hood, then it's the old 'Brown. They were very good reliable tractors in their day. I found the hydraulics to be a bit quirky compared to the Ford's I'm used too, but still good old tractors. The biggest problem with Browns is the parts availability. There are getting to be a lot of parts no longer supported through Case/NewHolland. Steering parts was one item, and a fairly common problem with Browns.... So that 2000 deal might be a huge nightmare. Beyond that, they had one of the longest lasting, cleanest burning engines of their time. David Brown was a well respected tractor in my area in their time.
I can't see where you'd get an 885 Case IH with a 2255 loader for 2 grand. Sorry, think you've seen a Brown.
