My father-in-law has a 1948 Oliver Cletrac HG in very good condition.  He still uses it several times a year.  It's always been kept in a barn when not in use.  He has been offered $2,000 for it, and we think it is probably worth more.  Does anyone know how we can get a fair price estimate for this?  Thank you for your help.

Dil,

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 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?

Your HG could very well be worth $2000, but it all depends on the details of its condition.

My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

I had my OC3 for sale a while back.  No potential buyer thought it was worth as much as I did.  I'm not really sorry that I still own it.  Cause me to find another way to solve my storage problem.

Saw a 1950 HG that was complete but rusty at an auction last  week. The engine was stuck.  Went for $1000.
