Assuming that the gear box, main shaft, and ground roller bearings are 
in good shape, it would probably be worth around $500-750.

Check with your local New Holland dealer, but figure on at least $2 
each, and there are probably about 150-200 blades. Some of the knives

That would mean a long hard life. Based on the need to change all the 
blades, I wouldn't suggest that it is worth more than $500 tops.
