Now Then..
Research all the classified adverts you can find. Look on eBay at completed listings, then go look at it and judge it as you find it..

It is a bit when you consider my dad bought a brand new one for £700 in 1965.

£14,231 in todays money - can you buy a similar spec tractor today for £14k?

Will depend on the condition, originality & whether force/pre-force (along with porous or not), but 5k is plenty strong enough.

Not that i was looking for one but i know good investment
Id thought 3 k ish , wondered if i was way off.

Possibly a Chinese offering ? Our Ford 3000 was pretty basic, no cab, no power steering etc, etc. But what would the build quality of Chinese be like though ?

Yes if made the same, (some parts are still fitted to new tractors).

One of the Tafe classic clones maybe?

Force

 

[tomlad]

Sorry is that good or bad

 

[Bucks Boy]

Non force. Gearbox cover. In-line fuel pump.

 

[tomlad]

Very rough value or indeed is it desirable

 

[JLTate]

Way to much money at 5k - I wouldn't want to pay £2.5k for it

Not desirable - someone's launched a paint pot at it as it drove past

 

[TheTallGuy]

Looks like a bunch of non original parts so isn't worth big money. They've probably "invested" in lots of work, not realising that restoration rarely adds much value (if any) & even rarer does it pay back the costs of doing it.

 

[AftonShepherd]

The attention to detail lining up the decals would make me worry about the standard of the rest of the "restoration"

 

[Lakes Nash]

I know where this is if anybody intrested, wouldn’t know what price to put on it, runs etc, been parked up for 4 yr, until a month ago,

Ive gathered there was a issue with his clutch job , presumably got a bolt wrong when it went back together, ended somewere else it get new internal parts that had broke , vaporised?
Owner is in a bad way with cancer so it will be picking a day he's fit to view, or more likely not bother.
Its had the posch splitter on it for years so would make a nice unit , but i already own a s dexta and mf65 ....


I don't meen good day to screw him , more when he's less morphine ect . ......
