| The seller may have to pay capitol gains tax on those !! I believe that is as much or more than they cost new. In 1969-70 the going rate was about $100-$120 per PTO HP. |

| I thought everything on that sale sold really well. We were interested in the newer agco but not at those prices. They were all really clean and well cared for tractors! |

| I think Doc is right. In 1972, we bought a new 185 for $7,500.00 |

| Seller was neighbor and crop insurance sales man. Few years back Rusty bought equipment from the family corporation. Home farm was sold off to local BTO. Does anyone know how to view result? Surprised the 175 brought more then 185 with factory canopy! We would have liked Kinze Planter. 155 was very nice and practically new. Last I saw was $80,000 few hours before ending. |

| From what little I could tell from the pictures pothere they looked nice. Probably cheaper than fixing one up yourself. Were these tractors original paint ? What did a AC 175 tractor cost new in 1978 ? Kinda wondering price between a MF 275 and AC 175 tractor ( similar horsepower and size ), neighbor bought a new MF 275 tractor for $11000 if he told me right ( I was 19 years old then ). |

| I've got a book at home that tells me the last manufacturers list price for any model tractor. So, I can find that for a 175/185 as they both were up to about 1980-81. That price would just be for std equipment and options would be on top of that. LIST price. Not dealer selling price. |

| My sales book lists 1981 as the last year for both the 175 and 185 diesel. The 175 diesel with only standard equipment listed at $15,894 with 16.9 x 28 rear tires and 6:50 x 16 fronts with no extra weights and no other options. The 185 diesel with only standard equipment listed at $18,891 and had 16.9 x 28 rear rubber and 7:50 x 16's on the front also with no weights and no other options. |

| Wow! that's the highest price I have seen on a 175. We bought a 170 diesel new(demonstrator) in 74. Overall 10,000 hours now it has been a great tractor. |

| Wow, those prices are crazy. I guess the cost of brake parts to fix my 170 won't be such a big deal. I'll just show these tractors to the banker and he'll loan a potload of money. |

I’ve been saying it for years, old school tractors are making a comeback. And why not, easier to work on, no def, and reliable. May not have all the bells and whistles of the new stuff but who gives a crap? Because it goes faster doesn’t mean it does a better job. I’ll put my old hay making equipment up to this new stuff any day. If ya gotta use additive on your hay to help it keep from molding then ya don’t know how to make a quality product. Your rushing it, gosh knows what those chemicals does to livestock. But I guess some folks don’t care, all they are worried about is the almighty dollar, not the health of their herd and those that eat it. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |
