ford 3600 diesel

[Soundguy]

looked at tractor found it to be a 3000 series also there are some minor leaks on hydrolic hoses and one on the shifter lever that ingages the pto also the back tires need replaced all in all needs a lot of tlc. There asking price is 6800 is this resonable. How can u find out what it is worth?

6800$ for a 3000? you can buy 2 of them for that here.

most I'd pay for a GOOD 3000 is about 4500$ and that would be a minty one with good tires and extra's.

right now.. here in central florida anyway...most older fords.. say 85 or earlier models, under 50hp are going in the 2500-3500$ range..

if it is factory powersteering and original it is worth it

I guess I need to make a trip to la with a trailer load of 3000$ 3000's and sell them for 100%++ profit then...

market here is giving tractors away..

I know where a 4000 with orchard fenders is for 2500 $.. ps and all.. fair tires.. no problems.. straight metal,, just a lil rust.. no rust thru's 2500$... bee for sale for months.. no takers...

Whodat526,
Wow, what Ford models in that size had powersteering? I was going to buy a power steering kit for mine, before I decided to sell and get a big, new tractor.

I sold it for more than I paid for it also.

ford had powersteering available as an option, as far back as 1955 for the 600 series. less common.. but it was available.

Wow, 6800 is way overpriced, IMO for that tractor with even only minor issues. I bought a completely restored 3600 Diesel for $4500 a year ago. Unless it's got a ton of attachments, I'd keep looking. (btw, it's got p/s which is a nice feature).

I just finished building a sun canopy for it out of scrounged material. I'll post pix in a day or so. It's done, just need to get out to my property and install. Thanks to Soundguy for pix of his. I patterned my brackets off of his.

awesome.. can't wait to see the pix. I love mine.

as for price.. I paid 3900$ for my 4600


i think 6800$ for that 3000 is steep!

I miss using the old 3600! I've been on YouTube listening to them and that low RPM grunt takes me back! Does anyone remember what the 3600 replacement model was? Seems like it was 3610 or 3620. Reason I ask is I'll probably inherit it one day. They sold the 3600 but still have the newer 36xx. I know it was newer than the 3600, but almost exactly the same except it had a foot throttle too. It must have been from the early 80's, and he put a loader on it around '95 or so.
Sorry for the slight hijack here...
