International Harvester 966 tractor.
Has a Westendorf WL-42 front-end loader with bucket and bale spears. I don’t know if they all have it but is got the quick detach
King cutter blade
Duals - these are pretty warn down but the guy I bought it from used them and they go with it. I’ve never had them on.
I think I’ve also got chains that fit the over the duals. I’ve never put them on. Can’t guarantee that but if I do they go with it too.
I did a full rebuild the front end about a year ago.
New water pump last spring
New belts and pulley last spring
Rubber is is in good shape. Front tires are good and one is brand new when I rebuilt the front end.
It needs at least one rear axle seal and I have it. Might need both but I know the left one is bad. When I got it the axles were all wrapped up with bale twine and I think a piece got in there and sliced it. I jacked it up and didn’t see any movement. Not an expert but the Google said that if there wasn’t any movement it wasn’t the bearing. I just don’t have the other equipment to pull the wheel off and change it.
Left side cab door got bent when I tried to squeeze through a my gate and complete misjudged where I was. It still closes. Window was made from plywood when I bought it. Ac doesn’t doesn’t work and it was hot AF out that day so I was running with the door open.
I’ve never used it because I’ve never worked it hard but I was told the TA works.
That’s about all I can think of. It’s been on very light duty acreage since I’ve owned it about 5 years or so. About half a dozen times a year I fix my driveway after heavy rains or lift heavy stuff with the loader. I used to have goats and hauled the round bales but no more goats so don’t need it anymore. The only reason I’m selling it is because it’s too big for my acreage. I have a heck of a time just turning it around. As far as what’s wrong with it, that’s all I can think of. All in all it’s a good machine.
Located Central Iowa about 30 minutes west of downtown Des Moines.
