I would look for a late model one as there were many improvements over the years. Too many to list all but far as engine, injection pump and injection nozzles were changed and they have to be in good physical condition to start good. With any mass production piece of equipment, tolerences with in a given range is what makes one a good one and the other one possibly a lemon. When it comes to crankcase cyl bores, piston height over the block and valve recession in the head is where the starting problems really get you on these tractors. Problem is, IH never gave any specs for piston height for instance and only gave valve recession specs in a service bulletin that was issued several years after tractors were introduced so when it came to rebuilding them it was a difficult for mechanics and or machine shops to get them to maximum performance except by trial and error. Just for the record John Deere was ever poorer when it came to those same specs.
