It starts good and smokes a tiny bit when it first starts but that goes away within seconds. It seems to run strong overall with no strange noises. The entire tractor looks nice and clean but I noticed that the radiator is leaking.
23.8 PTO hp 27.9 gross hp. Most parts for the SDxx43 models are attainable, no worse than the Fords of the same era. That tractor on our lot will normally sell for 8500+ with a new loader so if it is in good condition 6k with an implement sounds pretty good.
