I was passing a local business one mile from
my home and noticed a tractor in fenced yard.
I was behind bushes and hard to see but I don't
understand why I haven't seen before. I found the owner and He was willing to sell for $500. After close inspection it was in very poor
condition. There are several useable parts,
but the sheet metal is not some of them. The motor is frozen, but all parts are there. I wonder what a maximin price I should
offer as I would like to salvage as much as
possible of this old girl. By the way it is an 8n with the front mount distributor.

5 years ago I bought a 1952 8n for $400. I installed a set of points and drove it home. We are still using it today to farm tobbacco. I thank I was lucky.

Avery, the dealership where I work pays $500to$600 for parts N tractors, so I'd offer him less, but grab it at $500 if he stays there. Pete

Located in Central Ala.
I am fairly certian I will purchase it after the holidays, as soon as I can convince my wife that she needs it.

Sounds like a good price. I would ask if he would take less just to make an effort.

Yeh, hate to see one rotting away like that. Take a look at bg's FAQ page, I will try and include a link below. Some interesting and informative things to think about if you are interested in salvaging the old girl. Hope this helps.
