240 utility questions

Posted by gonecountry on March 02, 2009 at 19:56:19 from (142.167.237.149):

Hi all, new guy here. I am thinking about buying a 240 International Utility. I was only told about it by a friend and have not yet seen it. So all night I have been researching them and now I have a bunch of questions that I havent had directly asnwered in my search and hoped some one could help. I have found some pictures to go by.

Heres my questions:

What are the 2 levers on the right side of the dash panel?

How are the engines? I see they are rated 40 hp according to tratordata. Anything to look out for I was told this on was rebuilt last summer. New piston rings and a new HEAD.

I see alot of posts about hydraulic problems. Is there something too watch out for in particular? Are they known for being weak?

I assume there is no Hi - Lo range from what I have read. Are they geared well? My father speaks of the old single range Fords and Fergusons not having the right gear when he needed it, he really likes the hi-lo.

Anything else too look out for?

Sorry for the long first post just wanted to get it all out there.

Thanks so much in advance. JON
