Hello All. I have been in the market for a small utility tractor for driveway maintenance, snow plowing, landscaping ect. and ran across a 2504 with a loader. going to look at it today.

$5000. Owner said it runs well. Do tractors have titles? What do I look for so I don't buy a bunch of trouble? It originally was a twp road maintenance tractor.

to my knowledge, tractors dont have titles. If it was a city owned tractor, it might have been maintained and properly taken care of. That is not always true, depending on the city.

Check things like u would on any other tractor. Fluids, oil pressure when warm and idling, any suspicious noises, hydraulic power (lift something heavy), and speed. Condition of tires, condition of fluids as well as levels. Go over everyuthing as thorough as possible. bad paint and a few dents is not nearly as important as sound mechanics and a good motor. You could also check engine compression if you have a compression tester. Check for ANY leaks. If this was owned by a city, see if the guy has any maintenance records, manuals, and so on.

Good luck, and if you have any doubts, think about repair costs vs. finding another one.

Compression test. Great idea! Thanks Jay! 5 grand sounds a bit high, but I don't know. Might be worth it if it is sound.

Would a tractor like this have live hydraulics and PTO?

Would a tractor like this handle a really small backhoe attachment, like 6 ft arm model like this? Just light duty landscaping.

And what pressure would be considered a good compression pressure?, or bad?
