ljfarraher 16 #1 Posted May 6, 2021 Hello to all...wanted to ask the pros.. Have a 1996 complete painted 520H 50th anniversary and decal replacement with new tires..only thing not replaced was seat due to not available..but only had 2 tears on each bend..arm rests in great shape. 922 on the Onan with no smoke. with a complete spare including the chrome air cap..just need rebuild due to low compression..was thinking on selling for $2500..is that too high for it??

Handy Don 14,128 #2 Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Implements? Accessories? For tractor alone, with 922 hours, this seems very high to me. Edited May 6, 2021 by Handy Don Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a redone non patched 48" deck..new sleeve hitch setup and bracket for attachments at rear axle. Didn't know what to hit her at..just guessing at this moment...

The cable tube, cable, clamp, rear rock shaft, and rear clevis sleeve are also worthwhile. Is the "bracket" you refer to the one that bolts to the axle and has clips for the front plow frame or the tiller? If yes, then you have noticeable extra value there. But still, in the NY burbs and western CT, asking would be $1,200-1,600 I suspect, and it'd be "just a nice tractor lawn mower". To most buyers, the anniversary bling isn't a big value add.

EricF 589 #5 Posted May 6, 2021 Just for comparison, a few years ago I paid $2000 for a '96 520H with a little over 900 hours and no signs of compression issues, 48" deck that's solid with good bearings, 2-stage snowthrower, winter cab, and a 2-wheel dump cart. The paint on the tractor is a bit faded and the decals need to be replaced, but the vinyl on the original seat is still in great shape. The metal back of the seat needs some fresh paint, and the armrests were removed and long gone. Every tractor's condition is a little different and markets vary -- so take that as you will; it's just a random sample. I was living in New Hampshire at the time; I can't say Wheel Horses were common there, but they weren't unknown either. Markets vary; you can kind of use other listings in roughly the same region as a guide to start from. If you're disclosing the low compression, expect some buyers to want to knock off a bit of the price to offset the cost of a rebuild (Even for a DIY job, they may still want to offset their cost for parts and a bit for their time.)

Gregor 4,847 #6 Posted May 6, 2021 I am not an expert in tractor values, but I have $1000's in this tractor. The only implement I have is a snow plow. If I was interested in selling it,which I'm not, but if I wee, I would be VERY lucky to get $1200 to $1500 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know someone who has one of Matt's kits. Fella I bought a few things from in NH. I could try and hook you up with him if interested. Not sure he's selling it but he mentioned having it for a long while and the fact that he hasn't installed it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
