I have the opportunity to purchase a Super C for $500. I don't really need it, but I have always wanted to own one.
The sheet metal looks good, but the tires are marginal at best. It has been converted to 12v, had the clutch replaced ten years ago, and had an engine rebuild in 1991 including new sleeves and pistons,new bearings (minus camshaft) , and a valve job including hardened valve seats.
It has a factory wide front, hydraulic lift system, and "three point" (as described by owner)which is I suspect as being a fast hitch.
While running, the engine also will only achieve about five pounds of oil pressure and the owner suspects there being crud in the gas tank, causing the engine to start then stop after a few minutes. The tractor also needs a new ring gear on the flywheel, which I know means splitting the tractor.
I have a pretty good understanding of what the deficiencies are going to mean labor wise, but is the tractor worth buying, all considered, as strictly a collector tractor to be repaired to working condition and enjoyed?
Sorry for the long-winded post, but all input is going to be appreciated and taken into consideration.
