International 584 with front loader

Is this a fair deal?

What do i need to watch out for except checking that the handbrake works?

How much can i sensibly move weight wise with the loader? Are the front axles any good?

Thanks in advance

But I believe the 584 has the same front axle as 684 which is much heavier. So you should be good.

These are great tractor except for the parking brake problems. Always be sure to use only IH Hytran fluid in hydraulics/transmission.
If it has a T/A when the T/A is in High position this is direct drive and LO position is in T/A drive.
A quick check of T/A is to put tractor on a steep slope with front pointing down the slope.
With T/A in High position and gear shift in 4th High range, turn the engine off and engage the clutch and don't touch the brakes the tractor should not roll forward. If it does roll forward it should turn the engine over. Repeat again with T/A in LO position.

Good luck
