Old Classics

I waS reading a post earlier about tractor values and how some seem to be going down perhaps due to a lack of interest in our hobby by the younger generation. I just thought it might be interesting to throw up some models and see what prices are likely to be paid in different parts of the country.
So lets see if you guys can put some typical prices to any of the following diesel models:
Massey Harris 55/555
International 660
Case 500/930
JD 820/830
Ford 9600
International 1246
Oliver 2255 or equivelant White/Cockshutt.
Massey Ferguson 2805

Bill the models you have are not really very common. Plus many of them are newer tractors that still have some pretty good values.

1) A MH 55/555 are not very common I have seen a few but not many. Clean they will bring $3500-4500. That means sharp. Common ones $2500-3500.


2) The IH 660 was usually a wheat land over here. They will bring in the $4000-5000 range unless they are full restored they can go $7500-9500 then.

2) The Case 500 are a cheaper tractor. I have seen them bring in that $1500-2500 at auction.
The 930s will bring a little more but usually $3500-4500 will catch all but the best of them.

3) The JD 820/830 could be two different tractors. I am assuming the two cylinder Waterloo tractors. Good diesel, electric start ones can easily break $10K. Real sharp one will bring $12 or better.

4) Ford 9600 would be in the $8500-10500 range.

5) IH 1246 is an European built tractor. I have never seen one in person. Can't give you a price on one of them.

6) The Oliver 2255 is a hot Oliver collector tractor right now. They can bring $10,000 for real rough to $25K for real sharp with MFWD.

7) The MF 2805 are not common anymore most have been scraped. The transmission issues and other problems made them a lemon from day one over here. I was at an auction in the 1980s and there was a MF 2805 that was running an worked that the auctioneer could not get any bid on. The ones I have seen sell lately bring in the $6500-7500 range. A real sharp clean one might make $10 if two collectors get in a bidding war on one.

Alot of it depends on how big of an auction crowd shows up on any given day. Many times auction prices are way higher then you could ever get for your on stuff.

masseys 55/555... 700.00 -1500.00 not a popular tractor . gas guzzler. ihc 660 ... have seen average to good for for 2500.00 on auctions.
cases ... hard to sell. 930 nobody even wants them.
j. d. 820/830 dont sell as high as they are advertized in the 7500.00 range.

JD We need to get together on the Oliver 2255s, Still considered dogs in this part of the country.
Saw a nice runner three weeks ago that did not get over five thousand. Think the final bid was 4750. Oliver in these parts are not that strong. Also MH 55 unless it is real nice with power steering will be in the 2 thousand or so range. Like you on the 2805s what sell usually go to scrappers or stay around the 3500/4000 range.
