Went and looked at it this morning. Gas smelled old, oil looked good. Didnt see anything in the radiator but it looked good. All tires up, all sheet metal except grill is there. It turns over but battery was really weak. None of the lights or gauges worked. What do you think?

Air cleaner is missing.

I, would be interested in it myself, looks like lots of issues though. That loader frame is trash, and can not be trusted, so the loader don't add much value to it. That $1500 you said was still a good deal possibly, why doesn't it run and drive?

The loader frame could be repaired for ~200$ by cutting out the bulged metal, and fish plating 3/8 plate over the cutout places after putting it straight. I like it for the price in every way. Jim

we had one, it didn't ride, shift, or run better than the 300U it replaced, steered better only because of the power steering, puky little junk pos in my opinion. 460U if you can find one is a much better tractor, another farmer I worked for had one and pulled corn planter with it. I don't think a 574 could pull the hat off of your head.

Where is the air cleaner? Was it run without it?

I think I would leave it right where you found it unless you can buy it for scrap price.

Thanks for the input guys. My dad and our local welder said basically the same. Im walking away since they wont sell for scrap price.

Owner was looking online for air cleaner parts and saw what running ones sell for; he wants $2500 now!

2500 looks a steep going to need one rear tire soon make sure you here it run and watch for smoke or any motor noise offer 1700 and work way up

Hey tractor kid, I bought a 574 gas about 3 years ago that looked about like that 1 without the loader.Had less than 2600 original hrs.Needed rear tires,paint and other minor work.I gave $500.00 for it. Found a Great Bend 330 loader that was like new for $1500.00.Found a pair of good used rear tires chaap. Have less than $3500.00 in it now. $2500.00 is way too much.
