Ih 484

I have found a '87 ih 484 with 1,000 hrs on it and need some help as to the value and quality of this machine.

I am located in the western new york area.

thanks for any insight on this machine and its value.

Being in the UK I can't help with the value (although I bought my '79 484 for 1000GBP). But I can tell you it's a great little tractor. I had a David Brown 850 until I found the 484 earlier this year. I really like the synchro gears, indep. PTO and hydraulics, power steering, etc. Makes mowing much better/more fun.
It did have a cab, that I've removed (as I don't go out when it's wet/cold), and it was generally a bit rough. But I've had most of it repainted and put new turf tyres on the front and it looks great. Starts every time. This winter it's going to get new sleeves/pistons as there's a fair bit of blow-by coming from the crankcase breather. But it's done nearly 4000hrs, so yours should be good for many years to come.
Just change the oils and enjoy!

We used to call the 484 the mountain goat. It wouldn't climb quite as steep hill as the 4x4s would but it was close. On side hill I think it was better. I ran the Kubota some and the chalange was to get as many boxes of berries per trip around field as the little IH could. I tied him one day but never beat him.
