A friend recently aquired an old Fiat diesel (4cyl.n/a) tractor... I'm afraid I don't know the exact model or a lot of details at this time, but I can probably find some out.Anyways, he piled some cash into it but now has found that the single-stage clutch is rather useless for his PTO driven snowblower he wanted to use and even in low range it drives too fast. Now he wants to sell it to me, and I am considering it. It is ugly, dented, rusty looking but sound. Runs excellent, engine fluids and filters all changed, new battery(batteries?), new front tires, one new rear tire, new tie rods.... has a loader that needs some rebuilding and new mounts as it was installed by a hack-farmer with wood pieces for some reason.... very dangerous in my opinion... extremely sloppy. What is it worth? I am not looking for a nice resto project or anything, quite the opposite, I need a beater loader tractor for bulk salt for my snowplowing and salting business, also for grading gravel driveways etc. What should I offer? Also having starter problems (didn't go into detail). Is there a decent place to buy new or rebuilt parts from for these things?
