I am looking at a 1975 IH 574 diesel, with 3250 hrs. The guy wants $5500 and is staying firm there right now. Is it worth it? The toolbox has been welded shut because it started to rust out. The tractor looks good and there are no other noticable problems.

If you're concerned, check the oil pressure (with a real guage) after the engine has been worked for 20 min or so - specs are available for idle and high idle pressure. The manual says that the oild pressure should not drop below 1/3 of the dashboard oil guage when at 100 rpm over low idle. Of course some of these old engines can run for years with low pressure. Look at the shifter and clutch for signs of wear (where metal meets metal). A tractor with this few hours shouldn't show much - although this is only a rough way to guage how much a tractor has really been worked. I fully agree with the parking brake, brae and power steering comments. If the tractor comes with a loader this would be a reasonable buy in indiana.

No loader or I would have already bought it. I didn't notice any unsual wear and the brakes and parking brake both seemed good. I appreciate the information

Hi, check the brakes for being spongy and the power steering under the dash for leaks.
The other thing is to check parking brake to see if it will hold. If it will not hold then someone has driven the tractor with the parking brake on and there will be bits of parking brake lining in the hydraulic system.

I would not worry about engine, if it was not abused it should run 10,000 hrs easily.

A good 684D here in Canada will go for close $10,000 CDN.

Here is IH 574 for $6,900 CDN.

Good luck
JB
