He could be right on the price. Pal of mine has an A-- I don't know what is special about it. Something about a small rad and not converted to a larger one. I am not a JD fan.


JD folks have to get down right silly sometimes to make like they have something
rare.Kinda like the White demonstrator Farmalls, dealers in my area must not have sold anything but White ones considering how many have been 'found' (LOL)
I've only seen one white demonstrator Farmall in person, and it was an old "A" sitting way back in a barn covered in dust.

I saw a green GP on steel just like the one you pictured today at the tractor show.

Some people have more money than sense.  A lot of them collect old green tractors. 

Back in the 1990s there was an old Deere 6030 at a farm sale that went for $2500, I knew that the local JD dealer had completely gone through the engine and transmission on that thing a few years earlier because back in the late 80s when I was in high school I stopped in there one day to pick up some parts for dad and saw that 6030 completely disassembled in the shop.  When the auctioneer said "last call" I almost bid $3000 but the radiator was leaking, it needed new rubber, and a paint job, and I knew the old man would kill me if I brought that big green fuel hog home so I didn't.

I sure wish I had bought that thing now! One went for $64,000 at a a collector auction in Iowa.

But just think after your dad killed you he would be in jail and you wouldn't be here so it is a good thing you passed on it. If I had bought it I would be like Les stuck with that 60 he can't seem to give away....
