I just wanted to let all the folks helping me with info on a 350 Utility that I decided to buy the tractor. I got what I believe to be a good deal. I am pretty excited to be honest. I realize lots of folks have differing opinions on this model specifically (utilities vs row crops) but it should fit my needs very well. I have sloping ground at my house so the lower center of gravity is a big plus to me.
The tractor has almost everything I wanted. The one exception being a remote on the rear for implements.
It is a 350U that has its original Yellow industrial paint (thats what the owner tells me anyway). It has an IH front end loader, Power steering with what seemed to be very little play when I test road it (This was a big issue in deciding to buy it or not), 2 point fast hitch w/ draft control, IPTO, and TA. The owner hadn't use the TA in 6 years so he wasn't sure if it still worked but it did work just fine he told me. It has a foot control for the throttle which is sorta like a gas pedal... thought that was neat. The rear tires are 80% and have both inside and outside cast weights on them, Rims in good shape too. Also hadn't started it in 9 months and he wasn't sure if the battery would be dead or not but we hopped on and she cracked right over and started better than my Super A at home will!
In any case thanks again to all the folks that helped with info. I am pretty excited and will post some pictures if anyone wants to see her.
I will most likely need to add a remote as well as get the exhaust going up instead of down under the tractor. Those are the two main points...
The owner also said he was using 80W oil in the rear end and told me I needed to drain that every year due to water getting in it but I am thinking that should be Hytran in there and not gear oil.... correct? He told me sometimes it might freeze in the winter... Hopefully that didn't hurt anything.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
