The following is a copy of my previous post:
Both of mine have been very
dependable. These tractors come with more than one type of injector pump. Bosch equipped 574s are more
valuable as they start easier. These tractors have a multiposition fuel cutoff lever with a start position
immediately above the cutoff position. As for problem areas. These tractors will not tolerate poor
maintenance of the hydraulic system. Clean filters and fluid are a must. The shift linkage is subject to get
sloppy through the levers. The shift lever is dangerously located when dismounting. Your leg can and will
cause the tractor to shift out of neutral if you brush against it as you go off. At 52 HP with good weight the
tractor is very versatile and will perform. The saddle tanks are steel and I have seen some that are rusted
through on the bottom so you will want to check this out. The brakes are power assisted and the master
cylinders sometimes will require a couple of pumps when the internal seals leak. Other than minor nuisances
these tractor are reliable and therefore the value holds. I only paid approximately $7000 for the one that I
bought years ago when it had 50 hours on the clock. I frequently visit auctions and I still see these tractors
bring $6000+. Good luck

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
