Hey all,
Let"s just start out by saying that running a hay baler with an 8N is an exercise in futility.
Sooo, I"m looking for a tractor for my uncle. I ran into a Farmall 656 diesel that"s been sitting for a minimum of 5 years out in the weather. I neglected to look at the hourmeter. All of the sheetmetal is there and straight, the tires probably hold air and aren"t hopelessly dryrotted, there"s no water in the oil that I can see, the radiator holds water, and the shifter moves though all of the gears. I don"t know how to identify the Torque Amplifier model and a straight-shifted one, but I"m pretty sure it isn"t a hydro. The owner said he had it started last year, then someone stole the battery. Assuming that it in fact runs and has all of it"s gears and has somewhere between 5000-8000 hours on it, How much would it be worth? I don"t think the guy has a huge incentive to sell, and I"m not made of money, so some bargaining tips would be nice. The owner doesn"t farm, His father died and it hasn"t been used since.
Thanks for any input.
I"m in central Virginia, if that makes a difference in value.
*Edit* It's a diesel.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
