Allis chalmers wd45 value

I went and looked at a 55 wd45 today. Hand clutch slips front tires are junk and rear tires are bald. Comes with a 3 bottom snap coupler plow. Sheet metal is all there and is decent. He wants 3 grand I think he's nuts! What do you all think? I'm thinking 1500 tops? ?

I have a spare 3 disk clutch but it's a bear replacing it. I think 15 is being nice. It's useless with a bad hand clutch. I'm sure I could find a better one for 1500. I got the well the tires hold air comment. Lol.

I didn't know they came 6 volt. Thought the wd45 was when they changed to 12 volt

The $1200. figure seems right to me.  $1500. seems generous for the tractor you described.  Tires alone are expensive.  I have a 1955 WD-45 wide front.  It's a nice driving tractor and handy.  They did come out as 6 volt tractors.  My grandfather was an A-C dealer back then in Jerseyville, IL.

Cool well I learned something today about the 6 volt 12 volt. Yeah tires are probably around 15. I think we're to far apart

WOW 3 GRAND . I think 700$-800$ is a generous price with bald tires and a bad hand clutch.JMHO.

Time to move on there are much better candidates at a much fairer price sounds like the guys throwing it at the wall to see if it sticks just my opinion pin hitch wd really nice tires all the way around good paint running great brought around 1300$ yesterday at polks Spring sale

Ted J I think your right. We are way to far apart

I agree the tractor isn't scrap. I've replaced these clutches on a wd before. I have a 3 disk clutch for the wd45. I might ask him if I can pop the cover off and look at it to see if there's any shims left. The tires if I could purchase this for a way lower price would be replaced with new. The rear rims have calcium in them and appear good on the outside.

Let us know how you come out on this.  When you are walking away, you could go; "oh, by the way, if you are serious about selling this, your price is a little too high."  and then explain why the price is too high to him.  Possibly he might understand.

Yes 3 grand is nuts! For what your describing somewhere between $800.00 and $1200.00 depending on how they are valued in your area maybe a little higher than that. If the plow is in good shape that should be worth at least $100.00 so I would also take that into consideration.   Also check if the brakes are good if they need replaced then I would offer no more than $800.00 replacing the brakes is relatively involved and parts add up fast. Keep in mind a complete professionally restored gas model is worth roughly $5000.00 while a diesel is more around $10,000.00 in my experience. Hope that helps!

I see what you are saying, had a guy wanted $3500 for one, had new rims, fair tires, bad clutch and a knock in the motor, I just said, I can't make you an offer, it would embarrass both of us, that was 2 or 3 years ago and he still has it.

I think it's one of those deals it's sentimental value over actual value. I don't really want to sell it but... if you give me triple what it's worth I'll sell it.
