Tractor
370D
First, I hope I got a good deal. Bought a late 70's 370D 4x4, FEL, backhoe and brush hog for $3500. Seems to run good. FEL is sluggish up, down and bucket. What do you guys think?

A fully functioning 4x4 tractor with a FEL and BH is worth it for sure. Post some pictures. we all like pictures.

How does the hoe and 3 pt lift work is that normal speed??? Can't give you much help, but I would change the Hydraulic oil and filters and if there is a strainer screen check that too.

Hoe works good. it works off pto and has its own reservoir and pump. i topped off the trans/hyd fluid by the shifter before i used it. where is the hyd filter at?

That looks pretty much identical to mine.

The Blackhawk loader is a little slow. Occasionally mine has been sluggish and it's always been because of low fluid levels. At over 30 years with who knows how many hours, I have a few leaks.

Found the filter. Boy it was caked with crud. Will update tomorrow how the loader works.
