Cheap Tractor?

A 1970 Case 1170 sold today for $920--Is that about the right price?---Tee

Is that air cleaner factory stock?

centash · Apr 15, 2020

Not stock....Looks like someone added it to supply an added on turbo....price is way way low if the tractor runs and drives decent.

Sure seems cheap.

I was traveling through Washington in the 80's, right after Mt St Helens blew her top. Ash was everywhere. Most trucks I saw had external, better than factory air cleaners because of the fine dust. Something like the air cleaner on that tractor. That tractor must have been in a dusty location also.Stan

Looks like the "clean" side of the air cleaner is plumbed to the engine with flexible exhaust tubing.

That would not be my first choice especially in an area with FINE dust.

1170 was turboed from the factory only way they came , that is some cobbled up added on truck air cleaner

showcrop · Apr 16, 2020

I'll bet that it was being used in a very high dust condition and the owner wanted to extend his air cleaner maintenance interval.

JK-NY · Apr 16, 2020

Looks like an old truck air cleaner added on . That seems cheap if it ran and worked OK.

That was under 8 cents a pound.

ztrmowers · Apr 16, 2020

for that unit would not gave half that.

If it's a simple gear drive tractor, running and driving, that's CHEAP. I would've taken it home just to be a raking tractor, of course after I took that carbuncle off the hood.

Gotta use your imagination folks. Never understood these house hunting shows my mother likes to watch. They come in and sneer at the color or the decor... then reject the house based on that. That's not how it will be decorated when you move in, and paint is easy enough to change. Same goes with something like this.

Barny .... those home shows leave me fuming sometimes. A young couple (with the a$$ out of their pants and likely on the dole (and a down payment from one of their parents) comes into a place that an older couple bought 60 years ago and the youngsters start tsk-tsking and smirking about things like 1) the light over the dining room table 2) the arborite counter tops 3) lino on the floor 4) plastic tiles in the bathroom ... and on and on and on. Well then when you move in, change it but in the meantime I don't want to hear about it. My friend sold his house about 8 years ago. It was his parents house that he had bought from them and he arrived there himself in a wicker basket so he knew the house well. It didn't have what we used to call a half-bath (now an ensuite I think) off the main bedroom. Every time the realtor would show it he would remind my friend that the couple looking noticed no half-bath. It got so tiring that my friend told him he didn't want to hear that any more, he had lived in the house 55 years and he knew there was no half bath, he didn't have to be told.

I will give you an extra 100 for it. Do you deliver?

Cowboy2005 · Apr 16, 2020

If it runs and drives well, I'd give you $300 more for it.

What was the location of the tractor? Everyones looking at the air cleaner and not the fenders. What are they off of, a 1570? I would have bought it and parted it out and made money on it that way.

Buckeye, probably like most everyone else I looked at those fenders. I looked at them because they are noticeable and thought maybe they came off a 1030.
