I always buy the cheapest running tractor as possible. Theese old tractors can be fixed with the most basic knowledge and tools.

This is the most informative used tractor video I’ve seen on YouTube. Thank you!

Good information, but I recommend starting a tractor only when you are sitting in the tractor seat. Starting a tractor while standing in front of the rear tire has resulted in deaths and serious injury. Some of the old tractors will start while in gear. If the tractor immediately starts, when you turn that key, and the tractor is in gear, you can’t move away from that tire fast enough before it rolls over you. Newer tractors have safety features, which old tractors do not have.

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that Mr. Wayne. I am considering on for general use on 8 acres and possible expansion in the future . As a first time buyer this type of information is greatly appreciated.

I would do a compression test and check the radiator core for scale deposits in case the previous owners ever use water only as a coolant and check the water and power steering pumps for leaks, i would not buy a tractor without a two stage clutch, or a high and low range transmission or power steering, ..a two stage clutch allows you to stop tractor but not the pto it also allows the hydraulic pump to lift the arms when clutch is stopping tractor. I would also recommend one with a front loader which is very useful for way more than scouping .you can use it to load or unload heavy items on a truck, mix cement, lift and move machinery ,lift logs, use as a safe platform to paint or pick fruit, as a snow plow, use it instead of a cart to carry tools in, clear small bushes and prickers , pile and push brush fires , it will even help if you are stuck..

Totally right about the resale value. I have owned several tractors in a row and each time I sell them, I sell for more than what I paid 5 years earlier. At least two of the times, I probably got enough extra to also cover all the Repairs and Diesel I had ever put into it. Its like a free tractor. The only downside to selling them is that your next one always ends up costing more than your last one. When you go to buy an old tractor, look it up online and see what the original price was. Most of the time, inflation is higher than depreciation and the used tractor, even 20 or 30 years old, is selling for more than it sold when it was new.

Grew up running our Minneapolis Moline RT. It was a good tractor. My Dad completely rebuilt it when he got it.
