JD 970 tractor

Posted by Phil9N3667 on December 22, 2020 at 09:58:17 from (174.226.16.202):

Saturday morning, my BIL
and I went to look at a
JD970 that was up for
sale. BIL and his
daughter had bought 40'
containers for storage
and needed a small
tractor for use on her
farmette. We looked at
it, kinda rough, dinged
up, with a 440 loader.
It's got 3300 hours, but
started easily in 30
degree temps, fluids
looked good. Turned out
to be a "95 year model,
has a lot of wear in the
right side kingpin, tie
rod ends and steering
cylinder ball joints.
Has a new seat on it, new
front wheels and tires,
and rear tires were about
75-80%. Fellow was asking
$4000, BIL got him down
to $3250 after he told
him all we had found on
it. I drove it home at
about 10MPH, wobbling all
over the road!! Anything
else we need to look
for??!! BIL has a nephew
who works for the
regional JD Dealership
chain, might be able to
get parts cheaper that we
can't get aftermarket.
