Hi all,
I am contemplating buying a D3250FD Mitsubishi Tractor that is a 4x4. I know very little about tractors, but need something to run a 5' brush hog and cultivate between windrows of trees.
The unit's hour meter says 90-hours, but the owner says it doesn't work. He beleives there are a couple hundred hours. I tend to beleive him as all the engine/gear boxes have a very good grey paint job. The exterior blue is sun faded, though. In addition, all the stickers are there too that say "high, medium, low" etc. No oil leaks or anything. It is a very clean tractor. He claims he is the second owner and first bought it brand new. Does all this sound reasonable?
Like I said, everything looks very clean. There is one lever that is missing. He said it is the lever that makes the transmission go into low, medium, and high. The lever's shaft is sticking out from the left side, under the seat. The shaft is perfectly round. Is this what this shaft does? How hard is it to find another, and lastly, how do you attach the lever? It seems that with a round shaft and no key-way or threads, it would work very well?
This tractor also has a new loader and box scraper. It has a used post hole digger and what looks to be a very used rototiller. What would be a good ballpark offer on something like this? I just don't know what a fair deal is.
Also, how hard is it to get parts for these? I will use the tractor just a little. Like I said, mowing some pastures, cultivating windrows, moving some snow, etc. Or, would I be better off finding something US made like Deere or Case?
Thanks a million and happy new year.
