I would like to buy this IH tractor. It is a early 80s 1184 i think. It is in good shape but needs ALOT of over looked maintainance. It has a IH front loader in good condition, although the control valve needs work. Excelent 3pt condition. It has a full heated cab but the cab has been abused, IE only the front window is there. It has a new HD clutch. The exhust stack has been bent back. Just a lot of little things to fix. Poor tires. VERY few hydra. leaks. Machanicly I know it is sound. Can any one tell me what to ofer the owner for it. Thanks ScottV.
 
Scott, You have to get the exact model number first, could be 484, 584, 684, 784or 884. Also the loader number. Good luck, Chuck
 
Scott, To me maintance is of the utmost importance, If they didn't bother to take care of other things the filters and oil never got changed either. They were built from mid 70's to early 80's. As you descibed I'd put it at no more than 4000. Good luck, Chuck
 
Say Chuck I thank you very much. Mabee maintainance is the wrong word. The tractor belonged to Texas Instraments. They used it to maintain the lot around one of their large manufacturing facilities. While TI used it they kept very good care of it. I even found the maintainace book on it. It is prob. a mid 70s because the dates in the book. I forgot. They even recorded tire pressures and when they filled it up with fuel. Then in the early 80s they abandond the factory. They had a local man hired on for lot maintaince but he neglected all. Including the facility, since 83. All that time he has been at home collecting a TI check and never did anything. The tractor sat in a shop since 1983. Resently the facility sold and they hired me to get equipment running so the new man could take care of the place. I did and he did, but he is the one to neglect everything. Tow vehicals, scissor lifts, fork lifts,sweepers,tractor and brush hogs. HE HAS TORE the stuff up. The new owners have just started to buy new equipment, tractor, mower, etc.All the old stuff is just sitting there.
