Minneapolis Moline BF 52

[dehrman]

I would like to know what my Minneapolis Moline BF 52 Tractor is worth. I use it regularly; it runs fine, and is in good working order. I may need to sell it. I also have many attachments, bush hog, grader blade, dump bucket, boom pole, cultivators, mowing machine, post hole digger, carry all, disc and harrow. I can sell the tractor separately or with the attachments.

I assume you're referring to a 1952 MM BF. A few years ago I bought a 1951 BF for $1300--not running, needed a complete engine rebuild. Normally I wouldn't pay more than $700-800 for a tractor in that condition, but it was in excellent condition otherwise and I wanted it for my collection.

You may be able to find a buyer at $1500-1800 for the tractor. The BF doesn't sell well on eBay--I've been watching for 4 years and have yet to see one sell.

If it is in good condition it may be worth quite a bit more, but only to a MM lover. You'll need to find someone who is into the MM to get the most out of it. Most people don't even know about them!

Father used to be a MM dealer. Grew up playing on little Jet stars in the lot. Had never seen one of those little Avery/MM tractors till couple years ago I saw one at the Clay County fair in Spencer Iowa.

I was quite taken by it, neat clean little tractor, wide front end, full frame as I recall. Dad was still alive at the time, when I mentioned it to him he perked right up and told me some about them.

If I was a old tractor collector it would be on my list, nice, small, clean unit. And, they are the right color.
