B-8074 20 #1 Posted March 10, 2010 Ok, I found another one on craigslist and was wanting to know if you all think it would be worth fixing it up? And if so if one can get the parts. Also if anyone knows the model and age? As for the other one, I haven't had the time to go look at it yet, but when I do I'll let you all know. thanks. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/grd/1632243117.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 179 #2 Posted March 10, 2010 At first glance I'm going to guess it's an 854. I personally would not give that much for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-8074 20 #3 Posted March 10, 2010 I wouldn't pay that much either, however I'm new to the wheel horse and don't know a whole lot about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #4 Posted March 10, 2010 I personally like the steering wheel. IMO if the tranny looks ok and the Kohler turns over by hand a $150 offer can't hurt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger from southern Iowa 1 #5 Posted March 10, 2010 Going along with VIN's statement, in my local area it would bring the 150 to 200 pretty easy. In the end, it's your money and you decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #6 Posted March 10, 2010 I have seen this add over the past couple of months. It has gone off then back on price never changs. I wouldn't pay that much myself, and it doesn't sound like they'll take anyless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,411 #7 Posted March 10, 2010 I agree with Jim... probably an 854... could also be a 753. Hard to tell without seeing the dash. Plenty of good looking parts there. WH stuff seems to bring a little more money out in your neck of the woods, so the $150 suggestion probably isn't bad. I'd start my offer at less that that though... so you have some negotiating room and can end up at $150. I personally wouldn't pay more than $100, but only you can decide what it's worth to you.

W9JAB 156 #8 Posted March 10, 2010 B) I would charge them $100.00 just to yank it out and clean the place up. :party: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #9 Posted March 10, 2010 Ya, its crusty and dirty, but with a little elbow grease it would part out for more than $150. It looks to have a good engine belt guard, those go for a minimum of $40 on evil-bay. Another $40 for the hood (it doesn't look that bad), check the inside of the gas tank (that would sell if nice), then even if the Kohler is tired, as long as its all there and spins by hand... $'s. Its got what looks like a nice set of fenders........ If it could be snagged for $125-150 you'd make money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-8074 20 #16 Posted March 11, 2010 I e-mailed him, but he hasn't got back to me yet. Thanks for all the input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpmcleod 4 #17 Posted March 11, 2010 Better wear snake boots to get to that one. It's a shame how some people don't take care of things. That tractor could come back to life and really look good. Good luck with it. P/S. I have a good yard rake if you want to clean up the place for him. He should give you the tractor just for removal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
6wheeler 669 #18 Posted March 11, 2010 :party: If it were me, I would go look at it. And, before I made any offers, look around. People that leave things like that by the old corncrib, sometimes have more things to go with it. (At least around here they do) See what he has, then go from there.
