Bought a 4500 Ind. yesterday. Has a Ind loader on it with 6 ft. bucket, forks and grapple. Counterweight on back with four donut weights on each wheel. Early 70's vintage, fair condition. also has a cab. Shuttle shift trans. Needs one rear tire, the other three are almost new. Three cyl diesel engine. About what is this unit worth? It looks like it will clean up pretty good. Also, what would I have to expect to pay for a backhoe for this unit? How hard would it be to find a backhoe for it? TIA

Just for your reference- bought a 4500 Ford TLB this spring for $6100. Gas, gear trans, no cab or ROPS. Runs excellent, backhoe needs some bushings replaced to tighten things up. Bucket cylinder leaks internally, so does not hold position when parked. 1975 model, like the gear tranny because there is no torque converter to contend with- yes, not as handy to move between rocks, holes, etc., but was warned about buying older Ford with the TC, and this machine has been dependable and in my price range. Just wanted something to use for my own work around the farm.

We've got a customer that has a 4500 Industrial with a independent PTO, a 3 point hitch, a partially enclosed cab/rops and is about the same age. About a month ago he had a man from the local dealership out looking at one of his new mowers and ask him this same question. The mans answer was that a few years ago these machines would fetch a fair price (about $10,000 I think he said), although around here a cab hurt the value/desirability because of the height problem getting into and out of chicken coops. With the rise in popularity of the skid steers and the various attachments for them, the value of the true industrial tractor has dropped drastically. I believe he told Mr C that his would now bring in the $5000 neighborhood, if he was lucky. Hope this helps...
