Hey there,
Check out
Weekend Freedom Machines
They have a lot of knowledge about restoring JD Garden Tractors. Good luck.

The first place I'd look on weekendfreedommachines is the classified section which is only for JD L&G tractors and attachments. That's also a great place to list it for sale when you have it ready. However, they don't like you asking "what it's worth" in their other general and technical forums. It is a great place to get help with your restoration and parts questions though.

I'd also check Ebay for a general Idea of what people are asking for them.

The loaders are really rare. I'd say in good working condition $2500 just for that. Are you sure the RFM is 48" ? I know they made a 60" model 260. Those are also pretty rare and are 2000 RPM reverse shaft rotation. Maybe $1000 for that. As for the just the tractor by itself, probably $2000 to $4000 depending on hours and condition. These are all just my wild guesses.

Good luck
