McCormick Internaltional 434 price

We have an early 1960's model McCormick International 434 Diesel. the plate says that it was built by International Harvetser of England and has a serial number of 980. It runs but has to be roll started, live PTO, 3pt hitch, straight draw bar, new rubber on front and decent on rear, and wide adjustable front. My understanding is that this tractor was built for Canada, but parts from a 424 o4 444 will work on it. Anybody have ideas on how much this tractor is worth?

Minimum $4000, maybe $6000, depending on how bad the buyer wants it, PROVIDED you fix it so you can use the starter.

Tracy & Lisa: Some 424 and 444 parts will fit. There were two different 444. The one sold in Canada, Europe and Austrailia was completely manufactured and assembled in England, and is close to 434. The 444 sold in the US was shipped to Louisville as engine, transmission and rear end, and assembled using US sheet metal, front end, radiator, controls and Delco electrics.

All 434 were completely manufactured and assembled in England, and is close to the same as 275, 414, British 444 and 384. 434 has some different transmission components than the others.

I'm not sure about 424 but think it was US assembled only.

The quickest way to pick these out is by the front axle. The British models have straight front axle with drag link steering. All US assembled British tractors have swept back front axle with hydrostatic power steering. The British assembled models also have Lucas electrics, whereas all US assembled models have Delco electrics.

Here in Canada, 434 are selling between $2,500. and $5,000. depending on condition. There are a few advertised higher, but I've never heard of one selling for more than $5,000. in the past 3 years. I know of 3 that were bought from dealers, 2 diesel and 1 gas.
