Someone will want to do the work to get it back into fighting shape. Play your cards right and you should be able to flip that tractor and make a few $$$. A couple of old tires to get it rolling under it's own power, and you've doubled the value of the tractor.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Think 51 was the tops. What several tractor buyers are willing to pay for a tractor over more than a short period of time gives a certain model a general value. Merry Xmas   [Reply]  [No Email]

But Mike usually brings up that there were less of ____ made so why aren't they worth more than SMTAs.   [Reply]  [No Email]

If you don't care about the date code there is plenty of salvage 400 and 450 housings that will fit right in. Didn't add that some places can repair a crack pretty good. May depend on the place cracked. This post was edited by D Slater at 13:09:43 12/21/12.   [Reply]  [No Email]
