I'm looking at buying a Kubota B1750 4x4 manual transmission tractor from a deceased friend's estate. It is not HST. It has 1440 hours on it and appears to be in fair physical condition - paint, tires, etc. Most if the stickers are not legible. The engine was rebuilt by the local dealer around 4 years ago and hasn't been used much since. I noticed the lights do not operate. Nor does the ignition switch actually turn it off. I had to use the emergency stop. The 3ph raises only about 4 inches but I'm hoping that means the screen is clogged. My friend who died was not too big on maintenance. He only had the tractor for maybe 9 or 10 years having gotten it from a relative. The tractor has a 42" tiller that is chain driven and I think it also has a small brush mower. No mid mount mower which is something I would like to acquire. One other thing I noticed, when I put the tractor in 2wd, the left front wheel wobbles some when moving forward. I did not look close enough to check the lug nuts yet.
I need to know what a fair price is for this little machine. The estate executor has no knowledge of tractors and trusts me to price it. I just want to make sure I am fair to both of us! I have seen a few 1750s online but they are hst transmissions. Any starting points for pricing?
