I showed up unplanned and the owner was home and willing to show me the Tractor.
What I have found is a 1957 Farmall 230 wide front end. The tractor on first impression was good. Checked it over, oil, water and gas okay. So I attempted to start it. Fairly cool today about 45, the tractor fired right up with no choke at idle and then stalled. Gave it a little choke and it fired up and idled no problem. Checked the hydraulics out everything checked out good hitch lifted up and down quickly front rock shafts both work nice and smooth. Not sure why the two levels to operate them. Next was the test drive easily moved with little throttle in reverse and the first 3 gears it even shifted in to 4th and was able to move foward at 3rd or 4th notch on the throttle. Paint is all orginal, no poor repaint job. The tractor has the draw bar and even has the hook for releasing the fast Hitch from the seat. No signs of welding or cracks in the hitch.
Issues found one rear tire has a boot bulging out. Ran the tractor about 15 minutes and the heat gauge did not move. The amp meter does not work, bur it is converted to 12v so it may not be hooked up. There is some type of gauge by the clutch pedal that appears to connect to the Fast hitch that does not work.
Seller even has a IH 2 bottom plow and a IH sickle mower both fast hitch.
Asking $3000.00 for the tractor and $3500.00 all on. Is this a fair price?
