Buying Advice Farm Fresh L4150

[jms13]

Found a farm fresh l4150, everything seems to work, needs lots of tlc. Priced a little high for what all needs to be done. Both front hubs are leaking, it's moved lots of big bales,oil plug is leaking,rear tires have or had chloride in them, they're rusting, looks like original tires, rears are titan, fronts are goodyears, remotes are full of grass, bucket has a welded plate on the bottom. Can't get the pto to stop spinning?
Enjoy the pics....

So- how many hours does it seem to have? Price? I see only two on Tractorhouse: an overpriced Canadian one (1100 hours) at $15K + USD, and a front broom equipped one (2200 hours) for $5K. Which leaves me thinking that 9-10K would be ballpark?

I have its big brother L5450 but with only 400 hrs. Great tractor. I'd say at a good price and fix the leaks you are good to go for a long time.

Tractor has 2875 hrs, but the whole dash quit working just the other day. He seems to think it may have more than that.
They want $11,500 for it. :laughing: I'm not sure what he has in it, bought it from a friend. I'm thinking somewhere between 6k-7k.
By the way I tried to by the one in Canada for 13,500. They said "NO". And they still have it.

The L4150 is relatively heavy and powerful as compact utility tractors go.

This one has hydraulic shuttle, dry dual-stage clutch with separately adjustable pto disk. For the dash winking out, check the fusible link near the starter - a white plug with looped red wire that corrodes inside. Grass in the qd's is better than stone dust - spray with brake cleaner.

The pics show a machine that's been stored under cover and has had a non commercial life. $11k asking price isn't out of line if its engine, trans, hydraulics, fwd are all functioning. 50 hp tractors aren't usually much less unless they need a major repair. Any idea if the hydraulics are strong? Any loader leaks?
