:D

Nice tractor!

The exact and precise value of this tractor

is twice as much of half its worth! :D

THANK YOU worth? roughly with perfect mower to?

[stevasaurus 23,279]

Nice looking 702 What do you think it is worth? Mine is not restored, and I know what I want for it...if it was for sale...and it is not. It is my favorite.

Most guys on this site do not want to give you a price. It is between the seller and what he will take....and the buyer and how bad he wants it. Also, location will have some say here, and how far I would have to go to get it.

My guess...tractor, deck and blade...if it runs as good as it looks...$400-$800

A lot of 702's out there, decks and blades...me...I would rather pick one up for next to nothing and make it look like yours. My 2 cents. :D

the tracot is in perstine shape its all rebuilt with mower deck blade chains extras lights are worth alot to

The tractor is nice, but a quite a few of the parts are incorrect. (not 1962)

I know what you're thinking on the headlights too - but they aren't HL-5 pieces.

As far as "what it's worth?"...... Are you selling it, or do you need the ARV for insurance purposes? :omg:

The market is pretty soft on old tractors,

This is something may change in the future,

I would think something drastic like motor

design change on new models or a outright ban

on new gas motors would do it.

But until that time I look at what would a new

big box tractor with the same features cost,

and add something for the historic value.

However this means the customer is willing or

able to deal with an old tractor that has no

warrantee, parts hard to get, and has any

interest in the history.

So the bottom line, Pick a number and let's

dicker!

The value is what you are willing to give or what you are willing to take,Rick

I really think that is a 753.

Not trying to be rude but I wouldn't not consider that close to mint. that being said I would value the package at around $300 - $450

Good luck with it.

This tractor has been through a few members here at RS and I think it had frame problems (or whatever it was) hence the different front axle/frame/etc.

The WH looks good but the frame isn't a 62 frame

and a few other parts Other than that it's ok

Ok, I will be alittle more blunt. We are all here to learn.

You have either re-restored this tractor and made it a mint 702 and are inquiring as to a value. In that case. mint with mint accessories $750 is my estimate. It is really hard to get people anyone to pay more than that for a tractor without a loader. I don't ever recall seeing one sell for more than that.

Or... for the sake of learning you believe you have a mint 702 as it sits. In that case, the reason I made the comment I did was because to me I don't see a mint 702 and here is why.

The axle is not correct for a 702

The tie rods are not correct for a 702

The frame is not correct for a 702

The deck adjustment is not correct for a 702

The headlights are not correct for a 702

The seat is not correct for a 702

The paint job painted over the engine tag

The paint job has overspray on the steering wheel and deck lever

I like the tractor and would be happy to own it. but as shown it does not command mint 702 prices. It only takes one person with cash that thinks it is worth more than I do to make it such. Good luck in finding that person I am sure they are out there.

edit: added more issues.

I think a few of us need a lesson what the term "mint" is, and where it came from.

Mint condition is a term commonly used to describe pre-owned goods. The phrase comes from the way collectors describe the condition of coins.

The name given to the place where coins are made is called a "mint". "Mint condition" is the condition a coin is in as it leaves the mint. A "mint" coin has never been in circulation, and to the purist, has never been touched with bare hands.

To apply the term "mint" to a tractor, it would have to be as delivered from the factory, no modification, original paint in pristine condition, having been protected from the elements it's entire life.

I don't think that there are many, if any Wheel Horse tractors that can really fall into that category.

Near-mint, maybe, but not mint.

Having been in the antiques and collectibles business for years, I have found that the word "mint" is probably the most used and abused descriptive word.

Just my 2 cents worth.

[stevasaurus 23,279]

Well Sir...you obviously think it worth more than we do. So tell us...what do you think it is worth. You have had a few chances, and we have been honest??????

[buckrancher 2,694]

The hood stand is not a 702 the only thing I see on the tractor that's 702

is the gas tank and dash ? looks like it would

make a good 753 with a different gas tank

[abrown0920 0]

Why is that hood not a 702? I thought it was....

[buckrancher 2,694]

Why is that hood not a 702? I thought it was....

that hood was used on several different models and years 62/63

so yes it could be a 702 or a 753 or a 552 or etc.etc.

[VinsRJ 723]

Funny thing is, I believe he just bought this tractor........ :omg:

Sentimentality to a particular model, style or era collectable, be it a tractor or stoneware is usually what motivates, (aka drives the price), for an item. I

wasnt trying to come off like that res the steering wheel and lift arm have overspray i did a touch up job on a few scratches saying it be a 753 i believe that is correct no harsh feelings towards anyone this was a post to see what people on rs think i know the tractor minus that overspray is now cleaned off!!!! yes mint i meant VERY GOOD SHAPE i misworded that ! the tractor is in very good shape and runs very well thank you all i was just seeing what people had to say!!

[jasoncracer 0]
