1952 JD model G

For sure the loader is worthless unless you have a job for one, even a crude one. It's value would be its weight in steel - just a pain to get rid of. You'd be amazed at the tons of dirt it's moved.

I only see the tractor having some value to a JD fan who would like to restore it and enjoys hearing its pop pop pop. I started out hoping at least $500 but didn't advertise and I now believe I'll wait till spring and try for more.

I'm certainly pleased with the quality and decency displayed by most all on this forum. Good ordinary hardworking generous kind individuals by and large. I wouldn't have even known about it if I hadn't decided to buy a CUT! Now I'll be welding away with the assistance of some very sharp folk.

Your correct about it only having value to a John Deere collector, cool thing is there are some pretty well healed John Deere collectors out there. (-:

I am involved with the local antique tractor pullers here in Estherville Iowa. The Gs are very popular as pullers. Yours looks nice, straight and complete.

Check it's value out with some fellows on top of what the hot options ect. are.

Here a few more links you could sell in. It would be the "Green Magazine' and "Two-Cylinder Magazine". Not free adds but are reasonable, these are the center of the universe for two-cylinder collectors.

Green Magazine, the monthly magazine for John Deere enthusiasts

John Deere Tractor Enthusiasts

Also a link to Tractor House which could be a good option to sell as well and a list of up coming Auctions across the country you may want to moniter. If you could get it Waterloo Iowa next summer at the the Two-Cylinder Expo auction it may surprise you what it would bring.

Just remeber anything with green paint on it, no matter how little, sells more like it has gold paint. I bought my first 2 cylinder tractor when I was 15 years old. The only mistake I made was not buying all I could afford and keep buying. They would of done better than my 401K, but then again what isn't these days.

The factory fenders if not rusted out are worth $300-$400 around here.

Thanks HHM and Dan. This information is going to make my decision a lot easier. Really appreciate it. The tractor had only one issue - a slipping starter - I've bought a new bendix and all is well.
