Yes these are a very good tractor. As for price, Thats tough to say. They were not that common in my area, so prices are a lot lower then other tough garden tractors.[good for us that know how good they are] Parts are avalbel from any Ingersoll dealer.[Ingersoll bought the garden tractor line from Case in the mid 80's] Lots of the parts on this tractor are just standerd parts, that you can get almost anywere. Problem areas to check? Hydro system working. No filter in the system, so if it has not been taken care of, pump may have suffered. Leaks? Rear axle cracked? This is about the only weak point on this tractor. The bolts holding the ring gear on can break, causing a hole in the rear housing. Housing can be welded, but you would need the guts. BTW, I have three Case/Ingersoll tractors. Two I use REAL hard, and never broke a rear end, and the third was beat by a PO, and its got a good rear also, so dont let that problem turn you away.
