[AT] Something to do

[drgerber at bright.net]

Values vary according to regions of the country.  JD 420 trike here in OH, would top out at 4.5K, add another K for power steering, not likely on a trike.  JD 730 Diesel electric start would go for 9K, if it has a complete 3point w top link; 52 JD A if restored would go about 3K on a good day; they are just so common; restored JD 80 8.5-9K; JD 520 trike 4-5K and another K if it has a wide front, and that is if it has a complete 3point; just saw the added PDF on the 730 so it does have the 3point.

 

I have several 420s, a 430, two 420 crawlers, a 530, 720D wide front, and a 730D trike electric start, several As and Bs, H, LA, etc.

Here’s something to do while hunkering down from fires, floods and pandemics:   Help a family value some antique tractors.

I got this request from someone who I assume was a family member and is sort of serving as the liaison with the auctioneer.   Why they want a value if they are working with an auctioneer I am not sure. Maybe to have a reserve, or maybe to present a few tractors for sale to family members?

 

Either way I get these requests fairly often. I usually can answer them on my own because it typically involves very few tractors that are very common and in rough shape. But this collection looks to be nice so I would like some help since I am not an expert appraiser., 

 

All seem to be good-to-very nice restorations with good rubber.   I include a list of the tractors and a few pics that I believe are representative of the quality of restorations.   I won’t deluge you with the dozens of pics he sent.


I have my idea as to the values.   Just curious what your ideas are?
