W-14 value?

J-Pipes · May 22, 2014

A guy I work with has a version of a W-14 in the back of his dads shop that he'd like to know what it's worth. In my Farmall book, think it's a pocket guide or something, it doesn't match any specific version exactly. He thinks/has been told it's an orchard, but I think it comes closer to matching a fairway model. It's in pretty good shape, supposedly ran when parked inside the shop, which is heated and concrete floor, (used to be an auto repair shop). Seems staight with faded pait, flat tires. No serial tag. As it's been a few years since I went and looked at it, I can't remember which, if any, fenders it had, or all the exact details. But the research I did in those following days did thoughly convince me it is some version of a "14" I would really like to get it for nothing else than the novelty factor of being different, but would also like to give him an honest answer on its approximate value.

If you can drain and add new gas is all for it to run, $500 all day long. How much more depends on tires. If they just need aired up, its worth more, but if the tires are shot I wouldn't say so. Running and tire condition are the 2 big factors.

Well, IF it is a W-14 or an O-14, and it is all there, and it is in reasonable condition, it is worth a lot more than $500 (no offense to the previous poster).

I'll go on record that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Pictures would be great to help identify what it is (info on the serial number tag would help as well).

W12/W14 are NOT common. The orchard or fairway version is even more rare. A complete unit, in reasonable mechanical and sheet metal condition starts at $1000 minimally.

others may disagree, and that is fine. But if it truly is what you say it is, that tractor is a relatively rare bird. period.

I agree with Tom, but I would add another $500 and raise the anti to $1500.
