[Farmall] Value of a 10-20?

[Bob Currie]

Mike,
Hard to give out any dollar values with such a general description. The 
10-20 was a very common tractor and there are many of them available. It is 
not especially a hot collectible item in the McCormick Deering world, but 
It would be good to know the serial number, which would tell us the year, 
and of course, a more detailed description would be helpful. One of the big 
things on a 10-20 is whether the engine compartment side curtains are still 
there and in good shape. They tend to get beat up and taken off most of the 
time because they are in the way when you have to work on the motor.  So 
"with all the tin seems to be there", motor stuck, been kept inside, and 
hoping for original and complete, I'd say your in the range of 500-800 
dollars. If it is 1925 or earlier, any accessories, etc. etc., then the 
price would go up.
