In Reply to: Price for a F-30 posted by Farmallb on January 09, 2011 at 11:58:46:
I bought an F-30 for scrap price. Put another $400 in it to haul it home (gas, food, hotel 1 night). It is not running, and yet it is all there.
I estimate that I will have $2000 in the engine alone when I am done between parts and machine shop.
I'll have another $800 - $1000 in gaskets, parts, paint, etc, etc. and that is me doing most of the work. If the clutch ends up being bad, there is another $300 - $500 to redo all that's involved there.
so, let's add up what I will potentially end up paying for a NON-running, basket case 1936 F-30. $4500 (if I am lucky).
so, buy it. if not, it is still a very fair price. I live in Pa, and it is just killin' me to see the F-30's out west, running, at reasonable prices. Minimum for me to personally haul one back is around $1 per mile +/- if it is more than a day trip. There is what appears to be a decent one on this site in the "for sale" adds in Arkansas, and I priced having i hauled back to Pa: $2100
If you want one, and that price is ok to your pocketbook, then get it.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
