Hello, I have a 1957 MF 35 gas powered tractor. what is it worth ?

[roknokr]

I have a 57 MF 35 gas powered tractor in my barn. A little rust, but always spent every night in the barn. I haven't started it in ten years because I have a 39 hp Kubota diesel. Any ideas what it is worth ?? I am in northeast Texas near Paris. Thanks - billc

Somewhat educated guess of 2-3k for a gas engine, perhaps 4k diesel. Both in solid running condition.

That's fair for the area. I'm near Texarkana.

I might be interested. Really looking for something a bit older though.

25 or 35?

I was looking at a 35 here in Canadian dollars, not sure the year but diesel and he wants $8000 for it. But it has many new parts and he says everything works as it should.
I don't know if it's worth that?

Seems a little high to me, even if it is in super cherry condition.

You might feel better about the price if you go over to your local tractor dealer and see what kind of tractor he has in the $8000 range with everything working as it should.

Exactly right. I used to buy all kinds of new stuff from my Kubota dealer but after seeing the price increases at the start of the new year, I cancelled an M7060 cab and started buying restored antiques.

Not that I can't afford new ones, I work in a mine, I just feel stupid paying those prices.
I can see a thousand or two increase in the current times, but not 6 to 10 on tractors that never even had any kind of update.

Plus the old tractors look cool, and no regen issues.

I still do prefer the newer one for the loader and backhoe though. Hydraulics and loaders have improved quite a bit over the old stuff.
