Hey ya'll
1997?? Mahindra 485 DI tractor. It has 859 hours. It does have dents and dings in the fenders. The paint is faded and peeled off in some places, but not many. A wax job would probably bring the paint back out. All lights and flashers work. Powersteering, Dual stage clutch. I DO NOT KNOW THE HORSE POWER. The Mahindra DEALER, where the tractor is at, told me it is a 45 h.p. It has a HORIZONTAL EXHAUST.
I started the tractor at the dealership and drove it. It smoked blue/white for a minute when we started it. The more it warmed up, the less it smoked. Before we killed the engine, it almost stopped smoking. I didn't drive it long at all before we killed it......I believe it was just the nature of the diesel engine.
The dealer told me that it DID NOT burn oil. He is gonna give me a 30 day engine/powertrain/hydraulics warranty.
He even gave me the previous owner's name and telephone number, after I asked him for it. I would be the 3rd owner. The dealer told me this before I called the previous owner.
Anyway, the tractor is $6600 total price WITH a canopy installed on the ROPS.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Thanks,
Travis
