[Farmall] Help with info on 1066 Black Stripe

[Al Jones]

I mis-read your earlier post, was thinking the hours was the selling price! However from the condition you describe, I don't think you'd be hurt even if he is asking a premium price.  From what I have seen the 60s-70s era "muscle tractors" are becoming more and more collectable and are appreciating in value.
