Left rim has a little calcium damage but very useable..Exhaust elbow is in 3 pieces in tool box...I see reproduction ones on ebay..Hand crank is slightly bent...Air cleaner pipe has a little dent..Gasket is missing between carb and air intake..All in all a pretty straight tractor..

That tends to mean no rust flakes to deal with and the water pump is okay. Loosen the oil drain carefully until something drips. If no antifreeze drips-- if the engine will turn with the crank, if the above checks out, its worth $1500. Other pluses include decent fenders,-- no cracked block behind the intake manifold--good paint--a wide front--useable tires--hydraulics. If the cooling system is not holding and shows flakes in the top, cut the price to a grand. [Reply]  [No Email]

Watched an excellent foot clutch DC4 go for $950 because the owner couldn't get it started right before it sold. New owner jumped on and it started right up. Saved him about $500 I'm guessing.

Couplings. A Genuine CASE Magneto would easily add $100. Not knowing anymore, I'd say she's easily worth $800. [Reply]  [No Email]

Please don't "give" that sweet piece of history away. They are work horses. We've still got the '51 Dad bought new: ready to go to work the second she's asked! Glenn [Reply]  [No Email]
