Price Check Hinomoto C174 - Price?

[Kernopelli]

I sold one w/ a tiller about 5 yrs. ago for $3000 to a friend, I had been asking $3400. I had quite a bit of interest in it when I got ready to sell it and feel I could have gotten my asking price out of it but figured a couple hundred $$$ was enough profit considering the circumstance. It was about a 400 hr. tractor and was immaculate. He ended up putting a loader on it (I thought he said it was an adapted koyker but I never saw it on the tractor in person). He ended up selling it for $5200 w/ the loader and tiller a year later when he upgraded to a larger tractor.
I had bought it with the intention of eventually reselling it but I used it occasionally over a 3-4 month period. It was a really solid little tractor, parts availability would be my only concern about owning one. It did appear to be very similar to a MF 1010 so that could be a potential plus on the parts issue.

Buck,

I see that you have a C174 with a loader for sale, so I guess yours has the subframe?

Thanks.

YUP!!

I'm resurrecting an old thread here for a reason. My F-I-L has experienced a failure in the front wheel drive components of his C174. He has the parts manual, and in the process of disassembling the front end has compiled a list of parts that he needs to repair it, but can't find a good source for them. Can anyone recommend a supplier or suppliers for C174 parts?

Thanks in advance.
