Mornin" Butch. Lool to the left column of this web-page under "Research & Info" and click on the "Serial Numbers" link. Research 460 and jot down year and serial numbers to identify the year when you look at the tractor. Then I would add: check oil level and take a sniff before starting the tractor. Check for fluid leaks under the 460. Coolant level, sediment bowl clean; gas tank cruddy on the bottom; hydraulic fluid level; now start the tractor. Check rear rims for rusting through due to corrosive action of fluid. To operate the TA, while driving tractor, give a steady-even pull back to "engage" the TA and "release" the TA the same way, an even push forward of the arm, don"t operate the clutch when doing this! Gauges operating, i.e. good oil pressure; electrical system charging; tack/hour meter operating and accurate hours; gas gauge operational; temperature gauge may only show a "cool" reading if it is like 240/340"s I have owned as they seem to run cool. Gauges are available if gone/not working. Operate all the hydraulics. Do they release and the system not "whine" indicating there are problems with relief valves/screens/pump "hanging up". Stand down wind from the tractor when warmed up and "smell the air" for something that just don"t seem right. Any manual(s) included; chains; other implements available. I also like to know the history of the tractor, i.e. who owned it, where purchased, previous owners, etc. if this is available, that"s just me. Sometimes on this board folks have posted trying to "track down" a particular tractor. I also like to leave my contact info in case sometime down the road, a person finds something that should have gone with the tractor, implement...You will find a lot of great information in the "archives" area of this site - Farmalls, implements, etc. along with knowledgeable folks who can give advise/comments/humor to this Farmallitis affliction. Good luck and keep us posted...pun intended.
