"jdub; Are those hours on a working tach? That said, paint can hide flaws. That said, an independent live power take off -LPTO- with ~ 34 hp; row-crop was the most common; ~ 7200 manufactured which includes the International -utility- model; if you shorten the exhaust pipe on the muffler, the tractor will slip under a standard seven foot overhead garage door. Not a real easy tractor to climb aboard as you age, an adaptive step makes it easier. The Farmall row-crop should turn easy with or w/o power steering. Other options were a single front wheel; pto, yup, some had municipal jobs; torque-amplifier, that handle to the left of the dash that shifts the transmission into a lower 'range'; lights, fuel gauge - a 13 gallon capacity; wide front; three-point versus the fast-hitch. I see now Putter has mentioned tires...you prices those lately? Add tubes, mounting, any fluid; I like many prefer wheel weights. If she stands on good rubber, there is value. As far as value, maybe it runs, but does everything operate? Lights, gauges, TA, hitch. Six or 12 volt conversion; condition of rims; peek around the valve stems, front and rear...how would I know that?!? Lots of good folks on this board have and use them year around for raking hay, pulling loads of same, plowing, with their loader; mowing, etc. Doesn't take much storage space. Produced from 1958 - 1963. Parts are available from the dealer, but fewer; aftermarket manufactured available more and more. Some southern tobacco growers used 'em as updates to the Farmall A;s which were off-set seating to peek down the rows. Lots of info here in the archives and from helpful folks. Me 'tinks' you would enjoy one...or more. Good luck with your perusing. Post back with your purchase.
