About 10 years ago I somehow adopted Super M's and MTA's as my tractor of choice. In that time, I've been through somewhere between 15 and 20 of them (not including the ones I've parted out) and tried to watch the asking and selling prices very closely. That does NOT qualify me as any sort of expert. That being said, my experience has been that in my area or the 400 to 500 miles around me, $3500.00 seems to be the baseline for a decent Super MTA that I would consider to be a either a good starting point for a restoration or to use a little bit. From that point, I deduct for very poor rubber and sheet metal. I add for power steering, wide front, M&W governor, weights, ect. Even though a working TA changes the value in my mind by a minimum of $500.00, it doesn't seem to change the value much on the open market. I've seen a few listed here for the $3000.00 neighborhood and remember seeing a couple for even less, but I remember looking at the pictures and somehow thinking I didnt want any part of them, cant remember why right now. On the high side, I've seen them advertised for as high as $12,500.00, but only actually know of 2 or 3 actually changing hands for over $10,000.00. Best I've ever gotten for one myself was $8850.00. An MTA has to have the right grille or the value drops like a rock. (Guess how I learned that...ha,ha) Hope this helps, Rick
