standard C had tricycle front end.

That looks like a normal C wide front end.

$2,000 would be a more realistic price.

I will sell you all of my wide front C's for that price!

I have a good wide front end for a C and throw the tractor (not running) in for $400.
And as a bonus you can have the sickle bar mower on it too!

Hubert, you go to the SUN expo?  We went last year.  Couldn't make it this year.

Take a trailer and the money with. $3500 isn't that far from $3000. It looks good has all new tires and dosent apear to be leaking anywhere. A C isn't much of a working tractor and not worth much, but it was the best looking tractor Allis ever made. There is very little to go wrong so your just buying a toy that'll last a long time.

Steve,
 That is a very nice looking C in the pictures. Now this is a Allis guy, the G in the one picture tells you that. He may be a lot like you in fixing these smaller AC's up. He has a bunch of money tied up in it. The tires would be $1,000 probably. I dont know how rare they are but you dont seem them with wide fronts much. Good luck! Yea take the trailer what is the worst that could happen? You find its real nice,  settle on $3250 and load it up!
Probably biggest thing is it restored to your liking and quality level too? If you have to tear it down and do it again then $2500 - 2000 might be tops??? Just trying to help you here Steve:)
Regards,
 Chris

Thanks Chris.  I had to go to a funeral yesterday and couldn't get over to see it (It's about 3.5 hours from me).  However, the man called me and asked if I was interested.   I told him it was out of my price range at $3500.  He dropped to $3000.  I told him that was still to steep for me.  He asked what I'd pay, I said $2500 possibly after seeing it.  He said no.  As Gary said, it's just bit too high a price--even at $2500.  Even still, I know he has $1000 (at least) in new rims, tires and tubes.  The painting is the hardest part.  If it sits for a while, maybe he will come down.  I hope so.  Good luck with your 45.
Steve
