[Farmall] Pricing BN Parts

[Mike Schmudlach]

 How did you come up with your prices.   I am willing to bet you paid less
than $2,000 for the A with the spare parts.
Your prices for the spare parts is over $2,000 alone.
No one should ever buy and use used head bolts.
Oil filter canister:  $15
Oil Pan w/ dents:  $5
Manifold:  A brand new one is only $105 w/ the stand pipe
Cylinder head:  $100

A whole engine is only worth $300.
Just my 2 cents

Subject: [Farmall] Pricing BN Parts

Hello,

I have listed some 1945 Farmall BN engine parts on some classified ad
services, YTMAG and SSB in particular.  The parts came with the 1945 Farmall
A that I purchased a couple months ago.  I cleaned them up, and have decided
to sell them to pay for the tractor.

I have gotten a response that my prices are way out of the ballpark.  
The question then is what are the proper prices for the following good
clean, but used, parts:  The prices are what I am currently asking.

Cylinder Head with valves, springs, retainers. All valves loose, but not
lapped. I asked $700.

Manifold- Very sound, no cracks or leaks, no exhaust pipe. for which I asked
$175

Valve Rocker assembly- No rust. $550

Oil Pan- Dents in bottom. Complete w/ hex drain plug and petcocks. No rust
in pan. $100

Camshaft w/ gear- Includes thrust plate. $400

Camshaft- $275

Camshaft thrust plate- $30

(8) Valve tappets- 4 have rust and minor pitting on the face, the rest are
clean and ready to install. $15/ apiece or $100/ all.

Oil filter cover- 1945 B style, still has remains of original paint, rust
pitting on rear. $100

(9) Head Studs- $15/ apiece or $100/ all


BTW, where would you sell parts like this?  I have listed them on the ATIS
ad service, YTMAG, SSB tractor, and Tractorforum.com.

Thanks,
Ben Wagner
