whats it worth??????

You didn't say what kind of wide front the tractor had. A good factory IH wide front with no welds will bring $700-800 at any of the tractor bone yards. Call them and ask prices if you don't believe me. They would probably give you half that much for the wide front, knowing they can easily sell it for twice. As far as the TA goes, if you wanted to get the tractor running, you can buy a heavy duty rebuilt TA unit for about $500-$550. Of course, then there would be labor involved. If you didn't do the work yourself, you could at least double the cost. As you can see, if you don't fix it yourself, then you would soon have more in the tractor than it would be worth, unless you get it really cheap.

Hmmmmm, guess it depends on how bad you want it.

A fast hitch, a gas engine (which in itself is probably wobbled out) and the T/A being non-functional makes that old tractor just about scrap price.

You might want it more than I, but I wouldn't pay more than about $300 for the thing; should be able to recover that much from the wide front and that hitch cylinder.

Just my view,
