 Topic: Whew! Tractor price!
Posted: 29 Sep 2016 at 4:37pm |
Everyone says the tractor market was down (At least for Allis) so I got to looking on tractorhouse at different colors and what they were listed for, and check this out! I about had a heart attack.

It's still for sale, not sold. Doesn't mean he will get that price. Some people do love to dream...

I would be shocked if it got that price! I would say $10,000 ??? It looks nicely restored from the pictures.

yep....the GP's are all over, but you'd be surprised at how many think they are rare and try to sell it that way! that's just an asking price, don't mean he'll get anything near that price. let them sit on it a year or two then throw him a offer!...like....$2000. you just can't stay away from them green tractors can you Creston!

That's prolly what the JD folks call a GP wide tread, they're kinda rare and get big money in the JD crowd
11,111 for a plain WD,,, this guy is really dreaming... good luck to both them

He probably had to buy a new key switch or some other part from JD for that tractor and is just trying to recover his costs.

The first step in getting an exorbitant price for something is asking for it.

I bet the GP owner was told to "Try to sell your tractor" from his wife. So you throw a price on it that no one will ever pay and tell your honey "I have no idea why no one is calling".

I think both made a decimal point error when they listed them. $6000 for the JD and $1100 for the WD.

If that was a decimal point error on the deere and it gets corrected, somebody let me know. I'll be on my way asap. Could triple my money on the tractor, and the hauling, before I got back home.....

I have no idea of what an antique JD or any other antique tractor is worth. I will say that if he really wanted the fair market price, he would be selling that tractor at an antique tractor auction. He certainly wouldn't be selling it on consignment at some implement dealer.

He knows his value as he is a auctioneer and has large sales on his lot at least twice a year. Usually a two or three day event with large crowds with check book ready.

The listing for the John Deere GP says it's a GP-P, the "P" stands for a potato version. There were very, very few of these versions built and I'm sure even less have survived.

I think so too Tom, however you usually can look at the cheapest of what ever yer looking for, and that should be the best close to what it's worth price! lol but still fun to look there.

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.

The early model G's, they look similar to an A, came out with too small of a radiator to cool the engine properly. Most of these were converted in the field with a kit to fit a larger radiator. So the ones that escaped without being converted are highly sought after by some.

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)
