Depends on what you want to do with it. It would be handy for moving dirt or snow, loader looks decent but I don't see a bucket for it, back blade is handy for grading. If it has a PTO you could mow with it. Make sure parts are availible before commiting to it.

I have a 9N that I use for moving dirt and snow with a box blade and it sure is handy, but I also have a couple of acres and have done a lot of filling and leveling over the years.

Since it's an industrial version, it's probably missing many features that an agricultural tractor would have. There doesn't seem to be any hydraulic remotes at the rear, not sure there's even a rear PTO.

Ok I didnt know that bucket intresting. Yes mostly moving dirt and snow probably. Level the yard up and clean up some stumps. A rear pto would be nice for a post hole digger or a mower. I was trying to figure out if it had a bucket the one picture looks like it did but then the other didnt so much. Is the price reasonable? I called machine shop said 250 to bore it out. If it ran before maybe I can get by with just running a hone down it? Depending on how bad it is. Who knows what pistons bearings gaskets will cost. I guess have the weigh all that vs buying a running tractor by they seem to be around 4 or 5k.

Looks like there is some type of push blade on the loader. The rear blade is handy for moving loose dirt, grading driveways, and moving snow. It's probably worth a couple of hundred dollars. To do any serious reshaping a box blade works a lot better.

It depends on what it costs to get it running again. A kit with sleeves, pistons and gaskets is about $250 for the 3 cyl engines.

Oops, the piston kit I was looking at was for a 4 cyl. Not sure what the 3 cyl runs.
Took awhile but I found a pretty complete kit not that it would or wouldnt need all of the stuff.

Everytime I see those brush guards I wonder what mine would look like with one.
Do they just attach to the standard bumper mounting bolts? My original bumper is relatively straight, could I use it or would I need a cucv bumper as well?
Finally made it over to my shop, cold weather and overtime at work have kept me pretty busy the last couple of weeks

As far as I can tell they should fit with a stock bumper, might need some longer bolts though. If you can find the whole bumper assembly you can get the tow hooks too.

Thanks for the info. Been keeping an eye out. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any within 1000 miles. Found a couple in the middle of texas...
