: I am looking at buying a ford 4500 tractor with a
: Perking 3 cyl diesel engine. It has 3/4 yard backhoe and what looks like abt a 1 1/2 yard front
: end loader.. This is just for hobby farm work..
: It looks pretty beat ( engine hour meter says only
: 2400 hours though} and all hydraulics seem to work
: including the support outriggers.. All tires, andhad to be replaced, two different sizes on the back and car tires on the front.... new battery and some new glass... Anyway does anybody have any experiance with this tractor?? I just intend to use it to mess arount the place with not commercial work.. I have no idea of the year but it looks real old...Thanks I used to maintain 3 of these hoes in the late seventies. The three cyl engine is a ford - Dagenham engine , not perkins. Do you have the shuttle trans (auto) ? the linkage can get real sloppy, and if it breaks, it seems the weak spot is a rollpin is inside the bellhousing. The hoses for thehoe are a nightmare, but aren't they all? Otherwise it's fine machine.......
