Ford 1100 4x4..Is it worth it?

[treeeman00]

I found a ford 1100 4x4 diesel for sale that I want to buy. I can buy it for 1300.00 It has a belly mower and a rear scraper blade. It needs tires and could use a paintjob. It does have new fluids and a new seat. Hour meter shows 293 but they only used a 3 digit hour meter so it could be 1293. Anyways do you guys think its worth it and could I get my money back out of it if I decide to sell it?

I'd say it is well worth that if everything works as well as 4X4. Does it have a loader?

Sounds like a bargin for a 4x4 tractor.

You might do a compression check, or have it looked over at a local tractor dealer. If it runs and 4x4 works I really don't see how you could go wrong.

Here is some info on it from tractordata.

no it does not have a loader and the guy says it runs great and the 4x4 works great and also has front weights.
