1979 ford 3600 worth

Ok, I will revise my estimate a bit; if I was posting this for sale, I would probably go ahead and list it at $6000. Now, I certainly would expect to get a bit less, but it is a good looking tractor. All depends on how quickly you want/need to sell. Another thought, im assuming it costs nothing to own it, so, if your not getting bites at $4000+, maybe just keep it?

Thanks, I try to take care of my equipment. It needs a bath and waxed. Probably will do that this week after I service it. I don't need to sell it. I usually use one of the cab tractors now. But still run it about once a month. Spent a lot of time on it growing up. Just started thinking it's to nice of a tractor to just let it sit. Maybe someone could get better use out of it. But would have to go to someone that would keep in under roof when not in use. Still on the fence if I will sell it or not. Definitely not going to give it away. Going to have someone from new Holland come look at it. Maybe they know what I should ask for it if I decide to sell. I will post more pictures after I clean it up. Just has dust on it from sitting in the equipment shed. Thanks again for your replies.

So, on servicing... You will not make more based on a service. Think about it from buyers side. You just bought a good looking, running, 40 year old tractor. Sure, the guy you bought it from "says" he did a full service; you, me, or almost anyone is going to do a Full service anyways, so we have a base line. With that, a "full service" I mean hydralic fluid, oil, filters, and possibly coolant. At times, you might even be suspicious, "Why did this guy just change everything, is it cause there is a problem, like water in oil, or something".

Now, if it needs an oil change, thats different, but I wouldn't really want to see brand new oil when I check it, as a buyer
