Kreig-
Did he give you any idea what he wants for it at all?  Are you going to post
the pics?

Subject: [AJD] GP value


I went out to look at a GP today.  Been sitting outside for 20-30 years
with the present owner and who knows how long before.  The owner is a
"collector" in the sense that he has hoarded many tractors but does nothing
with them. Front tires rotted off, rear steel, I think a later model
because of the exhaust/intake stacks.  Seems to be VERY complete, all
original with parts i have never seen on any tractor and obviously they are
factory and for the GP.  Sheeet metal covers for the PTO lever and also
sheet metal in front of the tool box.  All handles and everything, seems to
be complete.  The owner said the engine has been stuck ever since he got it
and sitting out in the NW rains all these years probably has not been good
for any of it at all.

I would love to drag this baby home and make it "new" again. Any ideas as
to value?   I did not get a chance to check serial number.  The owner
stated it was worth more for parts than as a complete tractor.  In my mind
he is wrong, it is one more complete GP that could be saved.  He does not
normally sell tractors so any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
