It has 980 hours on it. Haven't had any problems except all loader frame mounting
bolts were loose and I broke one off trying to remove it. It was too long, had
bottomed out & been over tightened by the prev.owner. Indeed it was not much
fun at all trying to drill out & re-tap it. Finally ended up removing the whole
loader frame, cleaning all holes with a tap, installing new bolts with locktite,
torquing to spec. It works good now. Kubotas, JDs, and Kiotis seem to be most
popular around here (Helena,MT), but are selling $8000 to $15000 range. Too much
for me right now. Glad someone else out there owns IH. ">  Ford 1000 and a IH 234 235

By the way, hats off to the manufactures and dealers for getting these little machines out - they are awsome. Even though my dad thinks it is too little for any of his ford 8n & 860 size implements because they are "too heavy", I like the controllability, maneuverability, and power to size ratio of the compacts. After listening to him, though, I am having second thoughts about getting a 21hp instead of waiting for 30. Reasonable $$ compacts are hard to find here though, unless one can afford new.
