Original Condition Value

Traditional Farmer · Jun 3, 2018

How much Dollar$ wise is very good original condition worth? I'm looking at a nice original condition Oliver its never been left outside a night as it looks everything is as it should be.
I have the same model tractor typical for tractor its age paint well worn not beat but used both tractors have around 2500 hrs and both mine and the one I'm looking at is in good mechanical condition.So how much more would the original condition tractor be worth?

There?s not many 2500 hr Oliver left. Are you sure it?s the original tach? Hood corners not broken? (Assuming it?s 50 or 55 series). Fenders rusted out at the bottom? Bolts that hold the white wheels to the green hubs should not be painted. If they are white or green, good sign it was repainted. If it?s truly original, 2500 hr tractor, maybe 50% more than average? There is certainly only a handful of them to pick from, so sort of depends on how bad someone wants it.

Its the original paint for sure and am positive the hrs are right the guy that has it bought it years ago and never used it much he's the 2nd owner.Mine on the hand has spent a of time outside and was used mostly on a hay farm and its in good mechanical condition but looks its age.

There are low houred units around and they pop up at times I know a few collectors who seek them out,, I have a a few of them myself, I was able to buy this one a month ago,, and Yes hours are correct,, still original front tires but the 2nd owner thought the rears were weather checked and cracked so he did replace them a couple years ago, tractor and under 400 hrs on it when he bought it in 1972, it is a 1962 model, everything on it works and is like running a new machine,,

For farm or acreage use, I'd guess an extra 40 percent minimum to somewhere less than an extra 100 percent. For the collector market, closer to but still less than an extra 100 percent unless it is very well advertised and you can wait months or years to sell.
