Hi all! I've done some searching but I hope you can give me a little guidance. I've inherited a late 70s Yanmar 155D with a front end loader and a concrete counterweight on the back. Picture is not my tractor but looks similar. Great tractor that we got a lot of use out of for 20ish years until about 3 years ago when my dad passed away. He did all the maintenance including a new clutch about 5 years ago. Since then its been sitting out under a tarp :thumbdown:
Well I was excited to finally get it running again and with a new battery it started right up. Only problem is the clutch seems to be rusted and won't budge. The mechanic, a trusted place we bought the tractor from, quoted about $2-3k to get it going again (including new battery, not including new clutch if a cleaning doesn't fix it)
Other than that she should be good to go.
Long story short- What is this tractor worth? We're also considering trading it to the mechanic towards a newer tractor. I'm waiting to here his quote.
