Hello all, My dad restored (over restored)an allis m crawler a few years back. It is in excellent shape and runs/drives/looks as new.
Our machine has some interesting history. Ours is the first crawler purchased out of Milwuakee, WI. You are asking, how do we know that? George Kirmse bought it in 1935 and was offered to be put on the cover of the manual if he purchased the crawler. He did, And our crawler and George is the picture on the front of every manual given out. We also have George on the crawler a few years back. Here is the question. We want to sell it but do not know what it is worth. The restoration is museum quality, I know alot of folks say that, but this time it is true. We have had a few people try to buy it for unrealistic prices(low)We are done with them. Sorry for being long, Thanks again for any help in advance. Ray

It sounds like you have a price in mind already. I have a crank start M crawler. My grandfather bought it in 1941 from a Trade School in Kansas. It is also from the 1930's. They used it for some log dragging, belt work and plowing. I have rebuilt the engine once and the UC once. From what I have seen it is probably worth about $1200 on a good day. With a good paint job and the right buyer, I might expect to get $2500. If you are going by the prices on the ads here, you are not using real world prices. Antique tractor buying is really sliding down hill. The younger generation has no relationship with tractors and the older fellows are full up these days. I hope this helps.
