Tom: It may or may not be over priced. Two factors you have to consider, condition and has it got fast hitch and are all those implements fast hitch. The fast hitch both on tractor and those implements are worth an extra $1,500.

Then consider condition of everything, good sheet metal is worth $500. Has it any castings welded from breaks, those are ugly and one can never trust the strangth of them. Then look for evidence radiator, water pump, charging system, starter, brakes, clutch assembly, governor, carburator, etc. have been replaced or rebuilt. Those items could be 56 years old and run you $2,000. or more if you plan on working the tractor. Finally check working condition of PTO and hydraulics. If it's never had a kit in hydraulics that could be $100. New hydraulic pump could be $350.

Consider this also, is the tractor coming from a working farm. George still gets a lot of work from his tractors that size, however working farms like George do annual maintainence. You put the same tractor in the hands of a guy retired for 25 years, has 8 sons or sons in law that use it and no one looks after it, there can be a lot of things wrong. It will just amaze folks how many things these old tractors can have wrong and still do family yard work.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the ...
