went to an auction this morning to try and buy a farmall 400. The auction also had a very rough looking, non-running john deere 40 standard. Stood all morning in the cold just to have the 400 go for well out of my price range, $3700. But what struck me as crazy was the john deere 40. The 40 had wide front and 3-point but that was all that looked salvagable to me. the sheet metel was far past usage, the entire transmission guts was in 2 five gallon buckets, the whole diff. housing was full of water, the head was off the engine and engine locked up. The wide front had been welded and one arm on the 3-point was slightly bent. I was totaly shocked when the tractor sold for $1750. Are these john deere guys stupid? Is this why they ask so much for their tractors when they sell them? Makes me wonder....
