After plenty of debating, my deal on the Fiat 411R fell thru... so today I went out and bought something else (easier dealing with strangers than friends sometimes :P) It is a B275 IH.... or at least I think it is an IH, it has a metal International emblem on the right side, but the same place on the other side is a metal McCormick emblem. The IH symbol is on the nose too. I haven"t picked it up yet, that will be tomorrow or Monday depending on his availability. It is rusty but not rotted anywhere except to small spots from the fender braces on the rear fenders. It has two new front tires, one new rear tire, and the other has great tread but is severely sun cracked. It has an IH brand front end loader with a goofy trip-bucket (for now). Two year old battery... everything works except for the guages. It also came with tire chains and a six-foot McKee snowblower. Both the tractor and blower need paint in the worst way (sun burnt). I paid a whopping $3000 Canadian for it (about $2400 US). What do you guys think? All I know about these machines is that they are built in Great Britain... and that came from this site. I also read that these can be hard starters but this one, which was stone cold and had sat for a month, cranked over after 10-15secs of glow plugs, and fired immediately. Gave a nice puff of smoke for about 30 secs but cleared up immediately and never smoked again. Does anyone know the horsepower rating, how to decode the serial number (for year etc), and perhaps how to diagnose the guage problem (haven"t even looked yet)? What do you think of these machines? How was my price? The local dealership told him they would try to get $5k for him on consignment, but he didn"t want to wait as he needs it gone... he took my offer of $3k. Any input?

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
