Bought a dealer demo ac185 in 1979 with 19 hours showing. I have had zero problems. 74hp tractor with a lot of power.
Resale, I cannot help with. I paid $11,000. Still has original 18.4 x 30 tires.

My uncle owned a 185 without a cab. Very reliable tractor with unbeleivable power for its size. Did alot of field cultivating and disking on this tractor. A real workhorse! My advice would be BUY it! Good luck
