They're a pretty good tractor. The last of them were the best. I have an '85 with the round roof. The block was probably changed due to cylinder wall perforation which suggests that the owner probably wasn't big on cooling system maintenance. Keep DCA4 conditioner in them or change the coolant "filter" as recomended. The hard shifting is on the 2-3/3-2 shift? That's normal for the syncro transmission which was standard on the 77. I always double clutch them across the shift gate on that shift. It makes things go smoother. Get in the habit of driving on the foot pedal rather than the hand throttle or your life will be miserable when it comes to shifting. Drive it like a pickup and you'll get along fine with it. The engines are pretty well bulletproof up to about a hundred horse if you wind the smoke screw up about a turn, and MOST of them in this area were turned up.... so don't be too put off if it makes a good cloud of black smoke off idle. A 91 should have a rotary pump, but much the same principle applies.... Keep in mind that it could also have 12500 hours and you'd not know the difference from looking at it if they kept everything up on the tractor.
I think the price is a bit steep, but with a new loader it's probably not too far out of line for what those tractors bring around here. I'd expect that with some negociation you'll get the price to about where it should be.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
