international Harvester 300 Utility

steve16 · Feb 23, 2009

hey guys I'm looking at an international Harvester 300 Utility with
power steering, loader with down pressure snowblower and rear
blade for 3900, it looks in great condition except that id doesn't
have a charging system so a couple hundred bucks for a alternator
(its 12 volt) and a cut out.. is this a good deal? and what should i
be looking for at these machines? pros cons?
thanks alot i know i'm asking alot!

Since it has a loader the steering is the weak point. Regardless, 3900 seems a little high to me.

Definitely look at the steering. A lot of these tractors have damaged steering due to loaders. Parts are hard to come by. If it has a TA make sure it works although tractor will work fine if its only bad in low range.Are you sure its 12 volt - original has 6 volt. Does it have a 2 pt hitch? Over all they're a pretty good tractor. I have one I use every year on a 9' haybine. I'm thinking the price is high but maybe not so bad if all it needs is an alternator. It doesn't take long to add a lot of money to an older tractor if it needs things like tires, etc. I'd try to get the price lowered some.

The loaders on the 300 and 350 utility were known for wearing out the gears and other steering components.
