I don't know the value but here is one that don't look too bad...if it had the mounted cultivator I'd be interested.

I"d say yeah: figure ya can talk him down to $2200 the sell some fool that thinks they are cool that completely unhandy front end for $500 and someone else the mower for $500 and you have a $1200 tractor sans front end...$200 at the local IH junk yard and it"s a darn nice $1400 Super C with no quick hitch, so sell the fenders for $250 an you are down to $1150. Add a different governor spring and tweek the throttle linkeage a lil and ya got a Div 1 puller that ya can prolly win every class from #3000 to #5000 unless someone brings a Super 66 to the party! yeah I"d get it!

LOL Pete, I don't pull so I'll take your work for it. But we plant about 2 acres or more of garden and the wife takes stuff to the market. Would be handy for cultivating the garden is what I'm thinking. I will not own any NF tractor. My dad preached about how unsafe they were so my wife would have a fit over a NF. I wouldn't mind having a tractor like with the fast hitch. I'd still keep my Ford 8N's but that super C would be handy here on the farm. 1st real farm tractor I drove was a NF Super C. The garden is the wife's. I risae a few beef, some hogs and put up hay and complain about having to eat veggies :shock: :shock: :shock:

Pete, it's 200 plus miles away. If it had the cultivator to go with it I'd jump. It would fit in well with my 1206, M, JCB TLB and 2 8Ns. would be even better with a 3 point.

I was born and raised in St. Cloud. Whereabouts are you located, and just how old is an "oldtanker"?

I was born in Paynesville, Mn - southwest of St. Cloud. Moved to Montana when I was 11. I remember Mom taking us to St. Cloud shopping. Small world. Sorry, not trying to hi-jack this thread though. Nice looking tractor.

I grew up with NF tractors and 4 of the 7 tractors I own, as a hobby, have narrow fronts. The only thing wrong with NF's is a malfunction of the operator, that operator will make the same mistake with a wide front, probably with the same results. That is a nice tractor, but steers hard. The advantage of the WF in this case is that the WF does not flatten the weeds before the mower gets them--so a WF does have it's place.

Dave I'm 57 but spent my youth and my health on tanks.....74-96. I did meet an really old tanker, my daughters grand father in law. He passed about 2 years ago but served under Patton starting in North Africa, going on to Sicily and from Normandy to the end of the war. Very interesting guy to talk to.

I'm about 90 north west of St Cloud near Battle Lake MN.
