I'd suggest looking at the tractor, and evaluate the loader seperatly. Ask them if they're willing to sell without the loader. I've never been around Freeman loaders, but in general, even the cheaper-built aftermarket loaders will not break unless abused. If the loader is all busted up, that should also tell you something about the way the tractor has been used. Remember, a loader is meant for lifting, light snow/dirt/gravel/manure scraping, and very light digging. They are not meant for pushing over buildings or ramming into tree stumps. If you decide to buy the tractor without the loader, look around for an IH 2250 or Case-IH 2255 loader. Thousands of them are out there, the trick is to find the correct mounts for your specific tractor. Check with a Case-IH dealer, you may be able to buy a 2255 new yet.
