I am about to seal the deal on an old 1170 with factory front loader. It is an 8sp manual, comes with duals, cab, air, 5200hrs, engine built 400hrs(10yrs ago) ago with new clutch, throwout, etc.
I am mostly trying to learn about this 1170 because I have a LOT riding on it working right for me. I am a mechanic but I don't have time to be broke down right now. My main concern is repairs in the engine or splitting the tractor.
I have also looked at IH tractors and I felt they were a little more refined or at least the ones I looked at but stumbled into this 1170 and think the guy is taking pity on my situation. I am not real sure what the tractor is worth but I guess the front loader really changes the tractor prices.
