$rough value 601 workmaster

But, I have a friend in the market for a utility tractor... A local Used car dealer has a 601 workmaster for sale with a 3 point mower (brush hog style) He wants $4000 for it... it seems a bit steep to me (though the salesman says it's been "all gone through" ...That could be sales talk for "all used up" but it does look clean)... You can pick up a 8 or 9 n for ~2-3K around here...

Can anybody here tell me... is there anything to look for problem-wise for this series of tractors... I know all Fords are good... but $4K worth?

Thanks,
Charlie

Also..be wary of a shiny new paint job...it can hide a multitude of sins...Drive it around...check for smoke..check the hydraulics..pto..cracks in block or housings...etc..

I think 4K is a bit steep..but it could just be the price for the area your in...In my area you can get a good 640 for around 2-3K...

Heres a link that shows what comes on each model number...ex:641..661..671..681..
