A while back I had a post about the value of a Farmall MD. I went and looked at it Saturday. It was in way better shape than I expected it to be. The guy that has it now bought it in 1975. They used it once a year on a grain dryer and it sat in the shed the rest of the time. It has good sheet metal except a small hole in the hood. There is no rus on it at all. The head on it is not crack. It has Heisler gears in it. It starts right of on the gas and runs good on diesel. He is asking $2500 for it. He said that he would even deliver it. He is about 80 miles away. How does that price sound to you guys? Adam

I paid 2500 for a 1951 MD that was in worse condition than the one you described. The sheet metal was rusty, the guy pull started it on diesel, it wouldn't start on gas, and the engine had plenty of blow-by. I paid too much for the one I got. I ended up rebuilding the engine as well as about everything else on the tractor. I could give you the total bill of my restoration if you would like. If the injection pump has to be rebuilt be prepared to spend money. I ended up with $800 in the pump. You can still get parts for these tractors, granted they are harder to find than gas tractors but they are still out there. The heads weren't necessarily the weak spots on the tractor. They had to be properly warmed up by starting on gas and then cooled down by running on gas when you were done. Many times the reason the head cracked was because they weren't warmed up and cooled down properly. It sounds like it isn't too bad of a deal, I would get it. My .02 cents worth. Karl
By the way I have a picture of my tractor on this website if you are interested.

Sounds ok, but it is close to being to much. The old 4 cylinder diesels were weak, because of their head. If it runs good, good tires, and looks decent, I would buy it.

In my opinion that price is about 1K to much. These tractors are very expensive to work on. You can't find parts anymore. For example carb kit alone is $275. We restored ours several years ago and it was quite salty then.
