For what it's worth, I got a IH 484 I had the dealer replace the clutch on last year, cost me $800 plus the cost of having the flywheel resurfaced and the bolts countersunk by a machine shop. I currently got it back at the dealer for the parking brake (needs a new brake band) and the differantial lock, the estimate is $2,000, but I was told that it might be less depending upon what they find and the parts needed, in this case, $1,300 of the estimate is in labor due to the fact that they really got to tear it down to get to it. It's very hard to find a used tractor that everything works on, especially if your looking at one thats 30yrs old like a 574 and if you do find one thats mint, they aren't cheap. This 484, most people wouldn't fix the parking brake or the differantial lock, but the parking brake is important to me since it is a saftey issue and since I do some custom work with it from time to time, it might very well end up costing me more than $2,000, and the diff lock is right in the same area, so it wasn't going to cost me very much extra, and those were the only things wrong with the tractor, it is nice now, but it was darn near a piece of junk when I got it.
