After owning one of these machines for 3 years, here is what I see:

The serial number puts the year of manufacture around 1990.
A little over 1000 hrs puts it at around 50 hrs per year.
The tractor looks straight for its age
The seller has repaired/replaced a number of items (plus he is painting the deck).

In addition to the tractor you get:
*1 pair of wheel weights (they look factory but normally come in Power Red) (37.5 lb. each).
*Tire chains
*HRM48H Hydraulic 3-pt finish mower.
*Looks like the seller has attached the lift cylinder arm (a $75 item that is often overlooked)

Negatives – Don't plan on using this combination as your primary mower. It handles like a lumber wagon and has the turning radius of the Titanic. It is better suited to mowing rough or large, flat areas. Other than that, it as amazing.

It is not the deal of the century, but, knowing what I do now about the capabilities of this combination, I would not hesitate to buy it.

Somebody moved the thread here? Really?
If your intent is to kill the discussion, then mission accomplished.
If your intent is to help the poster get some help, put it back in Case_Ingersoll_Colt Forum.

Not to cause hard feelings, but in the 20 hours that your thread was in the Case/Ingy forum you had 3 replies. I wouldn't say that it was a real hot/active topic. :sorry1:

Gentlemen,

Just to clarify:

1) I am not the OP.
2) I responded to the OP and included a summary of the ebay ad, so that when the eBay ad expires, readers still have a reference point.
3) If you look at the topic in context you will see that the OP had created threads exploring adding power steering/loader to a 3xxx series Ingersoll. In my mind, the eBay thread was just an extension of his exploration, not an 'I saw this on the side of the road" kind of question.

As to the 3 replies in 20 hours-
1) Since Tom's site started up, I see less and less activity on the Case Ingersoll Colt forum-across the board
2) The Case/Ingersoll loaders are relatively rare.
3) I drop by here everyday to see if anything pops up I can help with.
4) I do not see how moving the thread is in anyone's best interests.
