I am looking to buy an old tractor. This will be my first, so I need to know the things I should look for. I know the simple stuff,
Motor running OK
No strange noises
Clutch works
Pieces falling off /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Rear lift holding. [not dropping under load]
PTO turning, and not bent
Steering working, and brakes stopping.
Tires OK
Anything else I am missing? I am not looking for the “perfect” tractor. With my budget, I’m lucky to get anything. Just do not want to be surprised. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
