I"d guess maybe 2000-3000 dollars. Thats if everything is there sheetmetal is good and everything works. What size tires are on it? Wide or tricycle front end? 2 or 3 speed hydrapower? Single or dual hydraulics?

Tell him to give you his lowest price for the tractor. It it sounds fair buy it, but if it's too high give him an offer what you think its worth. If you don't like the price walk away. Hal

Well, I really don't know the condition of it. If the motor needs more than WD40 to free up the linkage, than subtract value for that and if the tires are junk, subtract for that too. That six bottom plow might be worth some money. You would have to research the plow to find a value as some plows are more valuable than others.

There are good 1950 Detroits on tractorhouse with asking prices of $9,000 and $9,500. Actual selling price is quite apt to be less, so take that into consideration when trying to find the value of your find. What you don't want to do is pay too much for this old tractor and then end up having more money in it than it will be worth. These old project tractors can cost a fortune, so always plan on spending more money than you think its going to cost.

Hope this was of some help,
