Hello, I am searching for my first tractor and before I purchase one I am trying to learn more about them so that I can make a more infomed decision
I recently found a 1983 International 784 tractor with a front loader and box blade for $6800.00 OBO. The serial number is R530214B009530-X MODEL I-784. The hours are unknown the machine if fully funtional (no smoke-no leaks--) I am looking for any type of feed back on this machine. I have looked at Ford"s and Massey"s and I can not find sites that are familar with International"s...So my questions. If they are maintained properly are they a reliable? Are the parts difficult to located? Are there any "common" problems with these machines? Is there any tests I should do before I make an offer? The loader has the Model number K 835 Serail number HD044 is this undersized/oversized? How/where can I verify the serial number? Are they harder/easier to work on than other machines? (I am mechanically inclinded.)
ANY feedback on this machine would be helpful....PLEASE don"t feel limited to answer only these questions...If you think I should know more please send me the information or tell me where to research it?
