I'd say 2700 is a good price if the tractor is as good as you say it is. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

I had one for sale for a fraction of that price--$1200. Rebuilt engine, new battery, carb, box, 3-point...didn't even get a nibble!

$2700 is way high in my opinion but its all what you want.I picked up a D15 a while back with PS overall good tractor figure I had about $1900 in it and thought that was enough.I like my CA but it sure isn't a D15.You'd be real distressed to hear what I paid for my CA(LOL) |

I'm with Gary. I have not seen a CA I would drop that much coin on. I would rob the piggy bank for a sweet D15 though. ------------- '52 CA, '61 D10 II, ‘61 D15, '66 D15II, '63 D17D III, ‘69 170, '73 185 Crop Hustler, '79 185, '79 7000, '77 7040 |

WELCOME to the forum! No way is a CA worth $2700 in WI unless it the first serial # maybe. I couldn't sell a wide ft CA for $1500 last month. Tractor prices went down this year, wide ft CA price should start at $1500, narrow ft less. ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

CAs have definitely taken a hit on the value department in the last couple years. Not sure why. Few years back a CA averaged around the $2-2500 area. More if restored nice. Seems they are starting to fall towards B and C values. ------------- Can't fix stupid |

I think it's for the same reason Gary mentioned. There are a lot of D15's out there for not much more than what CA's used to sell for and they are 10 times the tractor. CA's are just a glorified B/C. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

If you got the coin and like it then why not? You'll enjoy the tractor much more than playing with the money still in your wallet.  ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

Before I would give any over 1K, I would have to check the thrust bearing by trying to pry the crank fore and aft with a screw driver. If the crank moves noticeably, the engine needs work and will cost you another 1-2 K to fix.
