Good deal. Neighbor has a cultivator like that that I've used. Has the rope and everything. Only difference is I had metal wheels and no rubber!

I’d quit putting makeup on my third nipple for a $1500 tractor that worked. You can always count on the ugly ones to perform. Good luck brother, and congrats!

Old tractors work great for making food plots and for lots of other random jobs. They can also be unbelievably expensive once a bunch of things start going wrong. If the tractor runs for $1500 you have a heck of a deal.

Cool. What the hell is it? Case? Yep, case 831c. Around 60 hp diesel. Made in 1962.

the old 830's still bring around $4K around here. I don't know the 831, must be the same dam near. You got a good buy.

Tried looking this up, tractordata seems to imply that 831 is the rowcrop version and the 830 is the standard model. What that exactly means I do not know. Variants: 830: diesel standard-front 831: diesel row-crop 832: diesel Western Special 833: diesel high-crop 840: gas standard-front 841: gas row-crop 842: gas Western Special 843: gas high-crop

Row- crop might mean the wide front as I know there are narrow front versions as well.

Cool. What the hell is it? Case? Yep, case 831c. Around 60 hp diesel. Made in 1962. The case tractors were among the toughest tractors made back then. Solid units with modern features. Lots of ground was plowed with them. Reasonable size and agility. Should hold up well for the way you would use it. I just paid the JD Dealer $3100 to rebuild the front drive line on my 3320 Compact tractor. As MO points out....this is likely the result of using the loader "too much / too hard" but it has accomplished what I needed to get done. Despite the higher costs.....I'd likely do the same thing over again (definition of insanity? ) I think it was really hard on my tractor when doing some tornado clean-up here at my home. Absolute Max capacity loads of logs and debris......and then use the FWA to go down a very steep hilll with those heavy loads. Many hours of that work. No way to do that with 2WD as it would be pretty squirlly that way. Also I've used my tractor pretty hard in the timber.....and pushing big timber is hard on stuff. No regrets......just gotta pay if you wanna play with those CUT's. I doubt you would have any issues like that......but I don't think that is the way your going to use your tractor either. GOOD LUCK!

GOOD LUCK! yep, the only thing this'll be doing is pulling that digger, plow and maybe a disc or brush hog (if I find one cheap enough). Hope it lasts a long time for me.
