Farmall 450 D Wide Fnt end

Perry county Farmer · May 2, 2009

THere is a local farm that is selling out and there is a Farmall 450D wide fnt end. Tactor is in rough shape and i don't beleive it runs, the engine does turn over and i think with lil tlc i can get it running. I was wondering what would be a decent price to bid for this Farmall 450D? I know they are a collectors tractor, however i would like to rpr/restore and use the tractor on the farm.

I sold one with a trike, power steering, fast hitch and 3 spool hydraulics last fall for 1700 on ebay. It ran fine but needed TLC.

A local auction here last week had a 400D in similar condition, except that the motor was stuck on it. Don't know how stuck, it had a good muffler/raincap on it, but they couldn't get it to turn over when they pulled it into the auction lineup.

I couldn't be there for the auction but I had a friend that was there and I told him to bid up to $600 for me. It wound up selling for $650. Good thing I wasn't there or I might have another project on my hands!

Keep in mind too that those early deisels were known for having cracked heads, it may not be stuck but could be some other problem that made 'em quit using it...and also parts to rebuild them are much more expensive than a comparable gas engine.

i watched a 450 diesel narrow front that wasnt running for the sale sell for 1500 and i paid 1200 for a running one with a aftermarket wide front. but i do see them avertised for 2500-3500 with the ih wide front.
