What $ should I ask for International Harvester -

I could use help as well. He puts it on me to check this out since I know the internet well. I guess he thinks the internet is a magical thing where you can look up tractor prices and maybe sell tractors. I've googled around and found some stuff but not much. I figured there wouldn't be much out there about tractors and was mostly right from what I found. There were only a couple Farmall Hs listed on ebay and I checked other antique tractors and overall they weren't getting much bids. Is there a popular place on the internet for this sort of thing? Just something to do with antique tractors, maybe lists of prices. I can tell this site doesn't get a ton of traffic, at least from looking at the dates on the forum posts.

Here is a price list I found but the prices are all over the place and don't make sense with the categories "restored" "complete" and "older restoration". >Link

Is>Link ytmag.com a trafficked site for antique tractor stuff? It looks like their classifieds are busy.

Thanks for any help,
Michael

This is one of the busiest 'old tracotor sites' around, not sure what you are judging it all by to say this is low traffic?

Discussion forums are for discussing questions, such as you are asking. Gets real junky & hard to follow any thoughts if the forums get littered with ads, so most discussion web sites lightly ban outright ads, and provide a place for one to list such things. This site provides a classified & photo ad section.

An H tractor generally sells for $900 - 1200 around here, unless it is extra special nice or terribly rough shape, more or less then.

There is usually a local, regional ag paper that all the farm stuff gets sold in. Around my part of Minnesota, a 2wce monthly tabloid called 'The Land' has all sorts of classified & ag auctions in it. It is 'the' place to list farm stuff, it's where all the area farmers look. There is some such in your area too....

With the cost of shipping now, unless your tractor is very special it will not get much intrest from someone 600 miles away from you on the internet - there are a whole lot of IHC H's around, one can be found closer.

So, your best bet with a field ready, nothing special H would be a local sale, advertising in the 100 mile area around you. Or take it to a consignment farm aoction, & see what interest it generates.

Hope that helps?

Thanks for the info. I figured there should be some type of regional paper, I know the usual type of people who are buying and selling tractors are probably not the most into the internet, hehe. A few grandparents come to mind, much less my parents. Yeah, I know transporting the tractor would be an issue. On Ebay I see people say "pick-up only" etc.

That does help, thanks.

Thanks for the photo ads thing, I hadn't tried that yet, just the regular classifieds. By the way I put in Farmall H and get a bunch of John Deeres and plenty of other tractors but it doesn't seem to sort. I put in "Farmall H" instead and get less results, still no Farmall H but I guess that's because there aren't any.

Thanks a lot for the help.
