What's an M worth these days?

Hi All,

I've got to make some room in the barn, and wanting to sell an older (think it's early 40s) M with an old Farmhand F10 loader. The tractor has been painted ("two tone" red over white) a long time ago, and that paint is pretty faded. Metals all there, with minor dings. It's not real pretty, but starts and works fine. Tires have good tread, but the sides (especially on the front) are checked and cracked. No power steering. Has a Schwartz (sp?) wide front.

The rear cross-support for the loader has been busted and re-welded. The bucket is now about 5 inches off of level (across the 9 foot bucket). There's a crack about halfway up the loader reservoir that seeps fluid if you fill it all the way up. If you leave it half full the loader ONLY goes up to about 15 feet or so. If you fill it up it takes months to leak out again.

I know I'm making it sound really wonderful, but I plan to be up-front with any buyer. How much should I let it go for? I'm in eastern South Dakota, and we still have snow on the ground (this tractor's main use has been pushing snow for the past 6 years, so I figure selling it soon might help a little).

Thanks,

Bob
