Thanks for the info guys. I do believe it was a good deal. That rebuilt perkins fired right off and had a sweet sound! The steering was a little sloppy and it had a few dents, gauges were out, mostly easy fixes. I'm sure it made somebody a great tractor. I ended up opting for a jd2040 I found. It also was a heck of a deal and real tight, 1300 hrs for 4500$. It checked out great and I couldn't pass it up! I figured the couple extra hp and weight would be nice for my goal of running a 6' brush hog and the front end may handle a loader better if I ever want one. Anyway I appreciate the help here. I'd still like to own a MF one day if I can save up the coin!
If the 2040 is in any sort of decent shape, you found a bargain. That tractor would sell for $6000 to $7500 here.
