Hi, I'm trying to get some information on the Twin City 40 60 made in 1915. My family has one of these with all of it's original parts and it is still running well. We're interested in selling it and I'm trying to get a grasp on todays market value of such a machine. Any information would be great!!

I'm Tiffany's dad - Don Nohre. This Twin City 40 was made in 1913, the second year of production.All parts are orginal, it is complete and there are no cracks or welds in the engine. The tractor runs like new. It's ten bottom plow is still located somewhere in MN. I understand that this type Twin City was used in Australia. Was it used in England?

I was 11 yrs old when we bought and picked up the Twin City. We are the second owners of the tractor. The owner would only sell it to my dad, if dad would promise to keep it in the shape that is was and under no condition sell it for scrap iron. The Twin City 40 weighs 12.5 tons and has spare wheels on that are about 9 inches wide. The drive wheels are about seven feet. It has provenance. The orginal contract to buy the Twin City 40 states that the new owner ----- -- had to agree to come to their location for three weeks of training before delivery. Only on rare occasions has it sat outside.

We also have a Twin City Steam Engine 1917. It came from Little Falls, MN. It was used in a sawmill till my dad purchased it. This is most likely the steam engine, in which, Charles Lindberg's father worked with. Unfortunately, this is may be the the steamer that was involved with the lost of his arm. We will are checking on this. I think that there were two sawmills in Little Falls, MN. If anyone could help on these, thanks.

I will have to agree with Rusty Farmall. If it was me I would put it on Ebay or here at YT auction. You can put a reserve on it, gang advertisement of your product. I have a 30-60 Aultman Taylor and I have people asking to buy it all the time. Good luck.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see a tractor of that vintage and in good running condition to bring somewhere around $50,000. Maybe even higher.

A possible way to get an idea on price might be checking some auction results on a similar tractor. Twin City's of that size are pretty hard to come by, so I'd definately do some homework before letting her go. You might even consider having it appraised by an auctioneer that specialize in antique machinery. Didn't a TC 40-60 sell out of Oscar's Dreamland in MT a few years back? Maybe catch up with the auctioneer that did that sale, and see if he could be of assistance.

Most people give them to poor, balding midwestern airport oporators for the tax break.... Just an idea. I can give you a phone number to call.

Actually you are getting into the realm of the really hard to find. The value can vary widely. It will come down to what you have to have for a family heirloom and what someone else will pay. I don't know of anyway to get a realistic price range on that. If you "have" to sell it be prepared to dump it for $10K if there is someone drooling over that particular one and you are a hold out, the sky is the limit. They are hard to transport, drink heavily, not easy to operate or maneuver and totaly worthless as far as usability goes.....BUT!! They are Kewl!
