HOT!! Got to be the hottest tractor I have ever driven. You are tucked down inside that loader frame, with the engine heat blowing back at you, and that saddle tank and other sheet metal blocking any airflow out the back. The muffler under the floorboard under your left foot just adds to the misery. If you are not planning to put in long hours on it in the hayfield that's not such a big deal. For pushing snow in the winter it's a real positive.

One thing to check is the parking brake. Make sure it hasn't already been burnt out by leaving it on, and if you buy the tractor make sure the warning light for the parking brake always works. Replacing that brake band is a two day job.

Otherwise I think they are pretty good tractors. If it is the big IH loader it will be kind of helpless without some weight on the back, the loader is pretty heavy itself, even without anything in the bucket.
