IH 350

A friend of mine has a 350 utility tractor with a wagner loader and a backhoe. S# 15431 DP for the tractor and the loader S# is 687. I was wondering what the tractor is worth . It has a diesel engine with a welded block right below the head. The injection pump seems to need work as it wont start. thanks for the feed back in advance.

In that condition (not running), it is worth just about what it weighs, maybe $400 or so, and then part it out.

What does it weigh? What you're describing is a machine that's value is scrap or parts. Tires might be 70% of the tractor's value if they are good, if they are bad new tires will cost you more than a whole tractor with good tires.. Injector pumps are expensive to fix, probably 25-30% of the value of a good running tractor.

The rear tires are good The front tires needs to be replaced. I was told this tractor is rare.

The loader/hoe is worth more than the tractor. the engine is considered to be mediocre when running well. if cracked, and with non running condition, it would take t times the actual value to make it run if it were good. Parting it out is OK, or putting a gasoline engine in it from a 350 F-or-U. If the trans and rear end are great, and steering is fine, that would be the only salvation. Jim

not rare, and unless it is running as good as it ever could, not desirable. When working well. they are efficient and long lived. But they start hard, and that is a pain. Jim

I disagree. The tractor is barely rare. Find me 10 other 350 diesels? I know must of them are utility tractors, but they are still more rare than gassers.

I still don't think it is worth more than $1000 not running.

I do believe the Wagner loader and backhoe are the rare portion of the tractor

"Rare", no. Uncommon, yes.

The Continental can be a pain in the butt on many levels, even if running properly. It's not a terrible engine or anything, but it's pricy to fix correctly. It's not an engine anyone wants to be working hard on a daily basis because of parts availability and parts prices. It doesn't have the lugging ability or power of IH's gas engine, either. Economical on fuel, though. Utility steering setup isn't great either.

I'd say that the loader falls into the slightly more uncommon than the tractor but not rare area, too. That loader probably could have went on the gas 300-350U's and 330's too. Heck, the loader possibly might even be roughly as common or more common than the tractor. The backhoe may be "rare" if you choose to label it as such.

If it's not running with a patched block and complete, $1200 would be the high end in my book. Everything other than the engine would have to be pretty decent for that kind of money, too. If the hoe and loader are welded up, the price would go down quick. Steering would have to be tight. Tire condition unless near new or bald/junk doesn't add or take away as much value on a setup like this as it would a tractor you would go do fieldwork with. It's good for digging holes and filling them in, light loader work and light lifting, but not much else unless the hoe gets pulled off, and that's not a simple job, either.

I picked up a '57 350D row crop this fall that had sat out side for 7 years. The injector pump was stuck. The rebuild estament was $650. I also had to rebuild the starter, water pump, generator/regulator, radiator is leaking, no battery, tires will have to be replaced. I do all of my own work so getting this machine back to work is worth it but if this work had to be hired out it wouldn't be cost effective. PK
