Drove 100 mile round trip to look at a gas 450,fair original paint with a big dent on nose cone missing some emblems. Back tires are older Firestones 15.5-38 with less than half tred and a couple small breaks. Speaking of brakes there aint much and lots of wet oil on pan. The TA works but couldnt put load on it with the weak brakes. It needs a good tune up too. Doesnt seem to smoke except carb way to rich when throtle is opened up.It does hold good oil pressure even hot at idle. Im not shure about power steering.When tractor is parked I couldnt turn steer wheel but works when moving except a little jerky when RPM was low. Is that normal or is power steering going out. The guy wants $2200.00 and I offered 2000.00 cash. I think 1800.00 more in line. Please , I need lots of opinions from you all.

The power steering not working when standing still is common on these tractors with the behlens steering unit, mine does it too. When you need it the most you don't have it.

$2,000 is too much for the condition it is in. The same tractor in good to excellent condition would be worth only about $4,000 to $4,5000

Shoot for that money I know where if you double it you can get one that runs nice tires good but weather checked, has a loader on it but the hyd pump is weak. Just painted 2 years ago. $3995 for it. I was driveing it just last week runs good. Sounds like what your looking at could be a money pit fast

Run, don't walk, back there and pay the 2200. That;s the price of a fair riding lawn mower. Besides, by the time you are done restoring it that will be only 30 per cent of your investment. And you will have a 9000 dollar tractor.
