I know many folks post questions seeking the value of old tractors on this forum.

It is very difficult for anyone to give an estimate of the value of any tractor. Everything depends on the condition of the machine, the model and its rarity, the location it is in, and what the market is in that area. Does the tractor run good? Are the tracks, lower track wheels, sprockets, and idlers in good shape?

And it depends on how badly you want to sell it and how badly someone wants to buy it.

If you really want to make a post seeking the value of a machine, please be specific in  your subject and give as much information as you possibly can.

Thanks,
Blake
