There are a lot of variables when it comes to prices that have little to do with condition. I've passed up several ED40s the past few years with prices ranging from $500 to $1000. The last one I owned developed a rod knock. I never pulled it apart to find out for sure since I couldn't find any parts at the time. At least, as it was, it was a running tractor. I sold it for $800. Shortly after, I bought an IH B-275 - another British powered tractor. Paid $500 and it had water in the engine oil. But, parts were, and still are easy to get - even on this website. The B-275 is very close in size, power, handling, and design to the AC ED40 except it does not have a hand-clutch for the PTO - it uses a two stage foot clutch instead. The B-275 uses a British/Indian 144 cubic inch engine whereas the AC ED-40 uses a Standard - Ricardo 138 cubic inch engine (it was also used in British taxi cabs).
Massey Ferguson had a tractor that had the same engine as the AC ED-40. There is one close to me right now, for sale - at an auction house. It's a 1959 or 1960 Massey Ferguson TO-35 with the Standard 23C diesel motor. I tried to buy it last week - offering the guy $800, but he did not take me up on my offer.
