Hi, I am looking to purchase a 20 year old Ford 1720, 4wd, 2950 hours on it, and with a Ford 7108 loader attached. I found one that I am interested in and have talked to the owner about it.
I would appreciate ANY advice you can give me about these tractors in general and if they are reliable, easy to maintain, things to watch for overall, etc. Also, the one I am looking at has a 12-12 shuttle shift and the clutch has been replaced on it. Also, the seller made mention when it is real cold in the winter (Wisconsin), he sometimes uses a little ether to help start it? Is that normal? Everything else works as it should. Tractor is solid overall, just not new cosmetically. Tires are fair - 50-60% tread remaining.
What is a fair price for these? Any advice appreciated.
