I am with John A on this one. I do agree that to some people in some places that an LP tractor wont sell as well. For years I have watched them sell for near scrap price around here (SE SD) but in the last few years that has turned around and they are almost bringing a premium over their gas counterparts and have seen them sell at prices matching a diesel for some models. Tractor collectors have driven up the prices on them because of the rarity, and higher gas prices have brought a resurgence in their popularity. I have 2 John Deere 720's, one LP gas and one diesel, and after running them both doing haying and lighter work for the last couple years, they are about dollar for dollar on fuel cost per hour to operate. The LP does run a just a couple cents more per hour to operate and the only disadvantage I can find is that I have to bring the tractor home every night for fuel because I cant take the fuel to it. For a yard tractor, or loader tractor, that 656 would be wonderful!!! When they start like a gas and cost like a diesel, I have a hard time seeing the negative! Price? Like John A said, there were only a handful built... and even less left around. I have a 1965 Case 830 LP that I bought off of craigslist. I called on it one afternoon and by the time I went to look at it the next day, the guy had gotten over 2 dozen calls on it! He had it priced at $1500 and it needed new rubber all the way around and a lot of other TLC, but it was solid and ran good. I took it home and now I wouldn't give it up for the world! As far as how to price it, I would simply compare it to other gas and diesel 656's that have sold in your area and take into account condition compared to the others. That should give you some idea. Good luck!
