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. http://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/10317205/john-deere-gp" rel="nofollow - http://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/10317205/john-deere-gp

I would be shocked if it got that price! I would say $10,000 ??? It looks nicely restored from the pictures. ------------- '39 Model B Tractors are cheaper than girls, remember that! |

| 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 |

| I think that one is the row crop model Mike ...the wide tread was the short squatty fat one. |

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. |

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". ------------- 1961 Allis-Chalmers D15 1949 Farmall Super A |

I think both made a decimal point error when they listed them. $6000 for the JD and $1100 for the WD. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

| 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. |

| 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. |
Posted By: BigMo(TX)

| 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) |
Posted By: CrestonM

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.

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. http://www.agweb.com/article/machinery-petes-top-10-classic-tractors-greg-peterson/" rel="nofollow - http://www.agweb.com/article/machinery-petes-top-10-classic-tractors-greg-peterson/ |

| 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.... |
