Points: 0  |  IH 424 question, getting foolish in my old age
Okay, I'm getting a little foolish in my old age.
A 1966 IH 424 with a gas engine, has a real heavy duty looking loader on it, with float.
Needs a waterpump, (and maybe a thousand other things,) but appears to be pretty solid, didn't want to run it long because the w/p shaft is flopping a bit and could gouge the radiator if we run it much. Oh yeah it also has new-ish rear ag tires on it.
Will need to do a tune-up , a waterpump, and get front tires (I run a garage and can get used LT tires for it easy.)
I'm seriously considering buying this, I've been looking for a heavier tractor to pull logs and run a bigger boxblade, plus I want to leave the backhoe on the Deere 770.
What does anyone know about this tractor? Does this gas engine hold up?, how about the trans, or the 3PH, the hyaulic pump..?
I know it's old but it sure looks like it has possibilities.
Thanks for any information |

I used to own an ant farm but had to give it up. I couldn't find tractors small enough to fit it.

Come-on now Paul, are IH tractors that bad? This thing looks like a tank, and nothing in $2 to 4K price range that looks even close to this.
The price is $2500.00 almost new rear ag tires and a functional loader with float, live PTO, 3PH, plus a 40hp tractor with life left in it.
I'm looking but not finding... |

I'm looking but not finding... | I was just concerned that because of the water pump...you are on the verge of buying a "pig in a poke"...if you are really interested...buy the water pump install it on this tractor and then see if it really works... 
If there are major problems you are out some of your time and a water pump...
I've got a Farmall 460...paid $2500 for it...have since sunk another $2000...because I had to replace the clutch and torque amplifier on it...I like the tractor...its just I could have gotten something for $4500 that was better...
I'm a big believer in buying WORKING EQUIPMENT...
Repair/rebuild work is NOT my interest when it comes to equipment...use is...  |

Update, removed the fan belt and drove it for a couple minutes, everything works, the 3PH picked up 2 guys, one 300lbs the other 220, will need 2 steel lines repaired.(no problem) PTO and dual clutch works great.
I hear what you're saying loud and clear Paul, been moving carefully with this, the guys gonna bring it to my house next week and I'll throw a w/pump on it and run it to make sure no obvious internal leakage,(told him I'll take it if it's okay) |

Needs a little work, some surface rust in spots, but no real rot anywhere.  |
