Controversial 686

There was a thread here recently about the value of a 686 Diesel tractor.

Boy, I gotta tell ya boys, if this thing isn't worth the $10K asking price, you'll never find another that is. The tractor is correct clear down to the "yellowish tint" to the white color.

Wish the heck that my old 686 would have only cost me $10K. I went the "cheap route" and fixed a $4800 686 up to field-ready condition. It ended up costing a heck of a lot more than this one, that's fer darned sure. :>(

Dunno, but I just think that the seller and the buyer both know what this ol' gal is worth.

Just my opinion,

Been watching the thread with intrest on that 686, glad to finally see a picture of it.

Heck, me neither.

Guess it depends on it's intended purpose. As a parade queen, 'course it isn't worth the grit.

However, if a feller is gonna put her in the field, I just think it is well worth the price.

These are some pullin' "brutes". Look at the optional over-sized tires on that ol' mama! She's a worker! :>)

I know I sure wouldn't take $10K for mine.

As far as the 686 Mark?? is looking at, you are right about getting the work done for that price. If that 686 is in the condition that he describes it will give years of hard work.
