However you have admitted it needs an overhaul, that will cost about $1000 including parts and machine work if the buyer does it himself. All auctions are different. I sold an M for $1250 that looked no where near as good as your SH, and an H that looked much worse and needed about everything for $400 at an auction last Feb (SW Kansas). I expected the M to bring maybe $800-$1000, but two people wanted it. But based on appearance alone, if it was closer I would be tempted. On the downside, due to the engine it is about a $750 tractor. [Reply]   [No Email]

I bought a Stage 2 SH for 2250 10 years ago and a Stage 2 Super M for 2500 2 years ago, the SM is currently under restoration, will probably have 5-6000 in it. SH maybe 4000, I did not overhaul the engine, only the head. Neither is for sale as I am not in that business. The single front wheel is not a detriment as it easily exchanges with a narrow front. My SM came with a aftermarket WF that I am replacing with a NF, because the WF needed repairs and destroys the turning radius. But, yours is worth whatever you and the buyer agree on, good luck!
