Massey Ferguson Help Needed On Its Value

[Jon S]

Hi All ,i have been asked by a good friend to see if we can find more information about the below tractor and its current market value. Can anybody shed some light on this please..


"It’s a Massey Ferguson late 60’s or early 70’s I believe. It has a few attachments like a water/ chemical dispenser, a bit up on the forks to pick-up and we also have a big metal storage bin and fuel dispenser! I can take photos but, for now, here’s one of the tractor.
It doesn’t look like it but it goes! "

That's not a massey it's ih

 

[Sharpy]

Its an IH 574, mid 70s ish.

How can it be mistaken for a Massey Ferguson???
1970s IH 574. With forklift mast and providing the engine is sound, the hydraulics are working and the brakes still good (doubtful if the pedals stay hard), I'd think a £1000 would be plenty.

Forklift by itself would sell for 500 on ebay.

 

[Spud]

Its an International 574, worth about £1500

The good points from here:
Air Con
Front weights
Tyres almost 70%
In original condition
Ideal restoration project

2-3k on a good day if everything works as it should.

Edit:
"Massey Ferguson Value"
Forgot to mention Jon, CoPart are recruiting for their vehicle auction site, if you ever fancy a change you'd be an ideal candidate.

Late 70s was 84 series surely? Neighbour had an S reg 484 I am sure.

Its got the heater unit roof certainly.

 

[d williams]

Its got the heater unit roof certainly.

Definitely no heater in 1972 just looked again no padding on mudguards either

it's a 1977 International 574,
worth about £1500

Deluxe cab from 76-78. 84 series came out in 77. They must have overlapped for a year. Early 574s were 62hp. Being 68hp this would have to be late one.... Later type lights on the mudguards too.....

All 574 were 68hp
You might be thinking of the 475, it had Perking 62hp
Same he as the 474, again 62hp, but the 474 had an International engine

The 1st 784 I saw was bought new in either August or September 1978 , and was then used to pull a single row Armer beet harvester. There was an International main dealer about 6 miles from here , and they were very popular in this area from around 1973 , Until 2001 when the garage closed down.
It's hard to see it worth much more than 1500 to 2000 in my opinion, i dont think thete is an export trade for Internationals , which is a lot of what sets the price of 1970 and 80 era off farm condition tractors.

 

[spin cycle]

£1000 tops....you'd get a better one than that for £1500+
