9000 hours on a heavy tillage tractor is running on borrowed time. If the motor tanks then your out $5-10 k to repair it. The pivots, like Bob posted , are an issue on these tractors. If they have been ran too long than repairing them is time consuming and costly. You did not state a price. These tractors usually sell for not much more than scrap price with high hours. I see them sell regularly for $5-10K with way fewer hours than 9000. There is one on Tractorhouse right now with 4960 hours for $10K advertised. It is in Texas too.
Any of these older 4wd tractors can be "good" buys because there are not too many buyers. In my opinion the Versitile and Stiger are the better of these old 4wd tractors as they are dead simple. Meaning usually Cummins engines, Fuller transmissions, Eaton rearends. So you can find drive line parts from many sources usually. The cab and electrics are the worry some areas.
So buy with caution planning on running it to it dies and scraping it. Bargain HARD when buying.
