C105 value

[Mglenn 1]

I picked up this 1985 c105 at a local garage sale.

it runs really well and was kept in decent shape. What is the value on a tractor like this? I don’t really have good use for it.

$450-$600 I would think. 
  That gray motor is a replacement, so that’s actually a plus in my book.

IMO thats a $350 machine. Having said that, I hope you get more.

@Newbie  only a suggestion ,  would add  rislone zinc  oil additive to your  oil change , ?   reason , is its  varnish cutting ability, add 4 oz to my 2 plus quarts  of  10-30  valvoline oil , bottle specs , as soon as it heats up its cleaning ring glands and  valve stem  sealant areas , helping ensure solid engine function . this and a  carb bowl clean , will help  you off to  a good start  . would also  get a penetrating oil spray down going / soaking on that paint ?  let it sit  a few days in the hot sun ?  retaining original PATINA , wipe it down , with a clean oiled cloth , NO SCRATCH PADS OR PAINT REMOVAL ,  buffed mine out  with a 6" electric  palm buffer , cleaner wax , amazing paint depth , also  do a trans oil . front elevated , drainage , new shift boot , this is basic  recovery  stuff , grease every fitting , would also get after the deck , service , hot  sun oil soak , cleaning , done a lot of this , thanks for a reply , pete
