We're looking at a 1964 IH 504 and not sure if price is right and worth it with it's problems.
The bucket needs alot of welding, but our main concern is that the frame is cracked, which we weren't told until we drove 150 miles. There's a ball joint bad, the steering is sloppy and may have a drive shaft issue or steering box, not sure. Also, has lever to left of seat w/ plate that's floppy and a slight hydraulic leak. The hydraulics for the rear pto are dripping. The front tires are both different sizes and so old you can't read. Unsure of what size belongs and possible cost to replace. If someone can help with poss fix cost or worth price of $2600 is good or bad.. Any help is worth hearing.
Thanks!
