The 1970's were the low water mark for 1940's and 1950's gas tractors price wise. You could buy anything for a fraction of what they have sold for in recent times. Good H's and M's 500 dollars each all day long. Hand start Deere's maybe 200 bucks. Late A 400 dollars. N series Fords did better but the prices were still restrained at 1,500-1,600 dollars for late side distributor 8N's. The nearest IH dealer would only have so many old gas tractors on the lot then they would walk away from any for trade. I remember I was with dad for parts one time and the two co-owners were talking about a deal they were working on and they decided that at 4 H's they had enough so they made a little better price on a cash deal. By the way MM U's and Z's along with MH 44 were around 2-300 dollars then as well. I went to an auction as a high schooler during the early 1980's and the JD 630 I was targeting went for 3,300 dollars so at the point the rise was starting in the collector market.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
