Bought an awesome Ingersoll 446

[DailyCoffee2025]

I love tractors, always want to buy more haha. Found this baby, a case ingersoll 446 complete with the cab, tiller, plow blade, snowblower, and deck, also has a 3 point hitch and rear hydro PTO. I think it's a steal!
It's in good condition, but the steering is kind of sloping. After two gears, the control steering doesn't seem to cooperate. Can the hole on the bigger gear become bad over time? Is there a neutral setting on the rear PTO? Which setting should I leave when I'm not using it?
The cab doesn't fit with this tractor, if anyone local wants it, I can sell it to you.

congrats on the find, sounds like good catch. the rear pto is hydraulic so theres no classic neutral position meaning you can just leave disengaged to avoid too much load on the system. the gears should be close enough so a bit of play can be a problem you might solve with some bushings
