484 is an entirely different tractor from the little 284, I don't know as it even shares the same transmission with a 484, probably not since a 284 is pretty darn small. I got an American 484, parts are readily availible, it has a 3 cylinder D-179 International diesel, which was used in quite a few tractors and skidsteers. Parts are definatly not a problem, I have even had it serviced by the dealer, last year it went in for a clutch overhaul and while they were at it, they also replaced the rear main seal on the engine since that was leaking alittle, the pto input shaft was worn, so that got replaced, and the cast iron adapter plate inbetween the transmission and the engine had gotten broken, and even those are still availible for $1,000, but I went with a used one for half price since this is something that hardly ever gets broken, and it doesn't wear out. I have not come across a single part yet that wasn't still availible, I have replaced the wheel bearings, and those are something the local dealer keeps right in stock (my tractor has the swepped back axle, there are 3 different ones used on the 484 according to my dealer). The fuel filters are simple spin ons avalible from you local Case IH dealer or any auto parts place. Oh, and I had to replace the light switch for the fender lights, could even get that switch with the funky pointy handle on it yet. And I replaced an entire tie rod. I got a whole new starter and I've gone though a couple starter solinoids. I destroyed a special stepped bolt for the adjustable front axle and didn't have any trouble replacing that, but those are kinda pricy, something like $13 for the 1 bolt, but once again, Case IH dealer had one right in stock. No, they are nothing to be afraid of, anymore than say a 1086.
