well its a hard thing to figure while the average nice H is "worth" 3500 on the open market, you would then have to define the term 'nice' is it 25 bucks worth of rattle can paint on a powerwashed original tractor, or is is like you described, and its a probably better than new ground up restoration, with another 60 years of work in it yet, me id pay more for the top H, my problem with old tractors is i always end up using them for what there intended to do, having growed up with a C and a M, a good H with a 2-16 plow on behind it on a warm summer evening, and out under a load, would be full of memories and a real hard thing to have to shut down for me, and the top H would be a safe buy for this purpose, no fears of making it do some work, i have to also admit im the guy with about 6 grand plus invested in a 3500 buck on a good day, ford jubilee BUT i work this tractor, and i mean almost every day here on my place and also i haul it and do paying jobs with it its light weight and easy to trailer and is good up to its hp limit, that being said i dont feel bad with twice the money in the tractor as its worth , priced a new 30 hp tractor these days? granted they can do a little more than my ford will, and there nicer and easier to run, but shoot anybody with money can do that i can look good doing it too lol another thing thats fun for me is to hit town on a summer saturday morning when all the suits are out doing the he-man yard wars on their manly big box store lawn riders or zero turns, i pull up, fire up my 1948 farmall cub with the belly mower, and back it off the trailer and go to work, kind of just breaks up the party as they cant believe the nice cut the old cub can do, no stripes no re mowing the same area 2 or 3 times, no big windrow of cut grass to rake up, just a nice level cut, and it looks old school cool too, and that aint no briggs bellering away, just a nice soft 4 cylinder humming away through a stock ih muffler
