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?

Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
