Case IH Farmall 45a

clr ranch · Mar 9, 2015

Purchased a 3 year old Farmall 45a, with mfwd and loader, and only has a little over 200 hours on it. I haven't found much in the way of reviews or information about the tractor and I hope to get that here. If anyone has anything about these tractors they want to pass along I would be happy to hear about it.
I have a box blade, but I am going to have to purchase a shredder for the pasture as I don't have livestock yet to keep that down. Used a 6 ft. box blade for a couple hours to work on my driveway, which is about 1500 feet total, and it did great. Since I'm in Texas, I'm also going to need to put a canopy on it as its open station. Looking forward to getting a lot of work out of it.

Congrats on the new tractor.

What was your question again?

Just looking for overall info about the tractor. I haven't found a lot on it online. Have an owners manual, but probably need to be looking for a service manual as well.

My oldest stepson bought one new. I've used it to move/load round bales several times. He put fluid in the rears which helped it sit down. No draft control if I remember right, no turbo. He had a O-ring issue with the loader lift cylinders. It was under warrenty. He has been known to be tough on equipment. Syncroed between 3-4 likewise 7-8. Sometimes it is and sometimes its not. A solid machine but very basic.
