Hi guys, I just came upon a really nice IH 5488 2wd. Only problem is, it has a broken axle carrier, the axle shaft and carrier. The casting just snapped, but didnt ruin the fender or anything, looking like a pretty clean break. The carrier that the axle shaft splines go into just got messed up, so i would need a new one of those. But my main question is, what you guys think would be a good price for this machine. It has 6500 hrs, new paint job, its the earlier model becuase it has a rotory injection pump, 3 remotes, large 1000 rpm pto, nice interior, nice body. I think it may have broke pulling a large grain cart or something, thats the only thing i can think of that would break the cast iron of the axle carrier. If i were to get it, i would try to find used parts and fix it myslef. Tell me what you guys think.

I"ve seen the tractor at the lot before and they are always priced to high for everything. About 10 grand would be a better starting price.

6500 hrs is quite a few. It probably wouldn't be worth 20 grand if was not broke. If everything else looks as good as you say, I'd think it would be worth half that. I've kinda had some bad expierience lately with buying fix'er uppers, though. If you enjoy mechanic work, it would be worth a little more.

Yeah, I was thinking about $10,000 myself.
