I stopped to look at a tractor on the side of the road today. Here is the information from the sale card.
3 cyl diesel, fresh rebuild
2656 hours on the meter
9 speeds forward, 3 reverse
5 ft woods belly mower L59
5 ft KingKutter blade
3 point hitch
Draw bar with 2" ball hitch
Fully Serviced
Execellent Condition
It did look to be in very good condition. I have never owned a tractor this size. I currently own a 2001 John Deere 355D garden tractor with a 48" snow blade on the front.
What can you folks tell me about this IH 244 tractor? Seems like a lot or hours, but I admit I do not know how many hours are on the motor since the rebuild. Are there things I should look for or watch out for on this tractor?
Any help or pointers will be appreciated. I would like to gather as much info as possible before calling the sell.
P.S. I do not need another tractor, but I want one.
