Hello,
My brother recently passed away and left me with 9 old tractors to deal with. I'm trying to sell them, but I'm not sure what a fair value is.
I'm not an old tractor person, so I'm completely clueless here.

They are currently not running, have been sitting for years, but they all arrived in their current location under their own power.

And yes, I'm appalled that he purchased this great collection of old collectible tractors then just let them rot away in the field...This is probably about a third of his collection...

Tractors:
Farmall 560 diesel wide front:

IH McCormick W-6:

Looks like a real treasure trove there. Unfortunately the market for old "fixer upper" tractors is a real buyers market, not a sellers market. Your best bet would be to find someone who is into old IH machines and willing to take the whole lot for a few hundred each. Otherwise you are going to be dealing with this for years.

Paystar wants them and will come pick’em up this weekend, he’s into antique tractors now. They “ran when parked” right? LOL……:)

Kidding aside, pull them out of the weeds so you can see what you got, then put them on Craigslist for local pickup. If that don’t work put them on EBay. Maybe even put the whole lot on eBay up for auction and see if anyone wants to buy them all at once.

😂🤣 They all need to be saved! Unfortunately I try to buy already restored because I already have numerous projects and not enough time.

All I can suggest is look at sites like Machinery Pete, antique tractor sites on facebook, etc. That will at least give you a starting point on prices.

Some of them look like good candidates for restoration and some may not be worth much more than parts. If I were closer I might would like to take one on as a project.

If there is any old iron clubs near you that would be a great place to start.

I ask myself this same question every time I need to bring in the battery in for winter on the Fordson E27n.

Then, some task comes along that needs some real grunt, and I say to myself, "Why would I ever sell this thing?"

You will find folks at a site called "Yesterday's Tractors" are a lot more into old tractors than here at TBN. Supur As are the most sought after.

The 560's and the W6 are definitely worth saving and the money to restore
