IH254 International Harvester
Tractor with Hydraulic Blade
Model Year: 1983

This machine has been in our family for many years and was purchased from a friend of the family. I had a 6' blade on the front made from degelman 3 point hitch blade. Has hydraulic lift and hydraulic angle. Love the machine. Never did anything to it beside regular maintenance. Runs a howard rotovator, and pushes snow all winter.

Pros: Turns sharp and has enough power to run implements.
Cons: Nothing yet.
