I'm looking at a Mitsubishi D1500 tractor with a 48" bushhog. The asking price is $1700 including delivery of about 10 miles. It has good metal except paint is thin, decal is pretty much gone, white on front around headlights is chipped badly with one headlight busted. All four tires look new with no cracking and holding air. It has 92 hours. The owner cranked it up quickly with no problems, drove it around the yard, raised and lowered the bush hog. Everything worked OK.
When the owner first cranked it, it was noisy. Sounded kinda like a rod was knocking. Then it leveled off and got quieter. Is this noise normal for a cold diesel cranking?
I have read the forums in reference to this tractor. Parts problems and no manuals. But, owners seem to like them.
Is this a deal for me or should I keep looking? I have seen similar Ford tractors, but twice the cost. Should I go for it or save for Ford or Kubota Compact?
I would appreciate feedback. Thankyou.
