Tractor buying advice?
Yes it was. It ran well, but after sitting a short time it was leaking from underneath with a major puddle about the size of a dinner plate within about 5 minutes. The shifting problem is that it wouldn't go into park, and the gears ground unless reverser was in neutral, but maybe that was...- TDobber

Tractor buying advice?
I took your advice Leroy after looking at the JD401c today. Major leaks, shifting problems, etc. I wish I didn't have to drive 200 miles to find out. Anyway, tomorrow I am looking at a nice International Industrial 2444 gas that a guy bought for $4700 3 years ago, put $1500 into it, and will...- TDobber

Lift capacity is 5000 for the 401c and 2000 for the 3000 Ford. I believe the Ford is about 2000 or 3000 lbs lighter as well.- TDobber

Strongly leaning towards the JD 401c due to a stronger hydraulic system, engine, more weight for lifting big bales. I also like the single lever bucket control and reverser function. Ford ended up with some tire issues and funky hydraulics that were very jumpy and erratic. Ran good though...- TDobber

I prefer...- TDobber

Both have 3 pt hitch. JD has pto too, ill find out if the Ford does. The JD is heavier duty I'm sure, with about 15 more hp. I know a lot more about gas engines than diesels as far as fixing or troubleshooting.- TDobber

Tractor buying advice?
I've narrowed down my choices of buying a loader tractor to two. One is a 1975 John Deere 401c diesel industrial. The other is a 1969 :Ford 3000 gas industrial. Both run good and everything works. Prices are nearly equal. (4700 for JD and 4500 for Ford) As far as use, I plan to move big...- TDobber
