Just wondering what the value of this tractor could be, it is a gas, no 2 point hitch, no belt pully, narrow front end needs a least 1 new tire, sheet metal is great nothing is missing, I am buying this from my mother my dad bought it new, I do have all the paper work from ordering it along with the canceled check and delivery sheet. I am going to restore it and keep it.
 

Your father bought it new, and now you are keeping it in the family. Kind of tough to put a price on something like that, but IF you were buying that tractor from a total stranger, a ball park price would be something like $2,500 to maybe $3,500.
 
Tell Mom to give you a deal. Tractor itself is only worth about $2500 tops. Offer Mom $2000, paper work is only valuble to you, not the price of the tractor. Heck, ask her to give it to you.
 
I'm guessing Dad's passed on and you're trying to do two things:

1. Keep a tractor of sentimental value.
2. Help Mom out a little with living expenses.

IMHO, #2 just trumps any desire to pay a "fair" price for the tractor. You should be as generous in your offer as you can afford to be. I would START at $3500 and go UP from there. Make your Mom think you're getting the deal of the century.

Advice from one "young 'un" to others: If you have a tractor that you want to keep, make sure you make your intentions CRYSTAL CLEAR to your folks. When they decide to sell the tractor, you get first dibs.

...and if you get first dibs, make it worth their while. Don't play the "family discount" game. That's BS. If you really want it you should meet or beat any other offer. If there are no other offers, then figure out a "fair" price and tack whatever else you can afford on.

Oh, and start saving NOW.
 
How s this for " keeping it in the family" , or on the farm ? I bought the neighbors B , just to keep it on the same farm from when it was new.{ Private estate sale} Gave them there asking price . No prob. Fixed it up, Plus a nice paint job. Now the family would like it back , asked me to price it. Priced it for $1200 more than I paid , They are Ok w/ the price . Every one is happy now . It still will be on the original farm.
