Farmall Regular dating and valuation

My boss purchased a barn that had a restored McCormick Deering Farmall tractor on display in it. It was left by the former owner, and I was asked to find out what it was and see if I can get a ballpark on the value. I have done research, looked at other photos posted, etc. and determined it is a Farmall Regular in the 1927 - 1932 range. What is a good resource to determine specifically what year (I only have a photo to go on) and what an approximate value would be? Any help would be appreciated! While I am a born and bred "farm girl"...vintage tractors are not my strong suit!
 
Would it be possible for you to upload a photo of the tractor you are speaking of? The guys on this forum are very knowledgable about how to deduce the clues as to the year built and aproximate value if we had a little more to go...
 
In addition to posting a photo, check the left front frame rail to see if you can find the serial number stamped into the top of the rail near the radiator area.
 
Pretty hard to date it by looks without a serial number. Not that it would matter anyway. $1500 will buy a lot of them. So they are not super valuable. IH mad a couple hundred thousand and then that many more F20s. People seem to think John Deere is a big shot but back in the day they were pretty much nothing. IH was KING for years and years and they built a lot of tractors.
 
I am working on getting a photo uploaded but do not have a "handle" for the forum so there are some restrictions. Thanks for the info from all posters so far.
 
I am posting a photo, but admittedly, it is not good. I will try to have someone get me a serial # next time they are at the barn but it's in another state.

I think that an excellent picture considing it is inside. We have a old Regular that been setting outside for about 50 years and have an original Owners Manual for it. Would you be interested in a copy. Ours had a tag on the tool tray under the gas tank with the serial number on it. I can provide it when I look at the tag again. A question I have is about the seat mount? Did all the Regulars have a formed fat bar to hold the seat as in the picture or did any have a spring(Missing) and gas shock absorber cylinder? I found both in the scrap iron pile and would like to match up the parts. I love hearing about some of this less famous equipment.

Considering where it is sitting (looks like it is at haymow level)... I am wondering if it may be more trouble to get it down than it is worth.

Early regs had the flat bar spring, later ones had the channel mount with under spring like the F20. The big coil spring and shock mounts were aftermarket Monroe Easyriders
 
Thats a Regular all right. Looks very nice to me ! The round knob on the brake handle makes it a slightly "newer" model. The serial number will be on the the frame channel near the front left side, stamped on top . My guess on value if it runs and drives good and the paint is as nice in person as the photo , would be around $2000.00 - $2500.00 here in Minnesota.
 
Yes, it is at hay mow level on display...so will be a bear to get down. I think it's more of a curiosity thing on the value than wanting it moved at this point.
 
It's not been on my priority list to finish this valuation project but finally made it back to check input from you all. Thanks all for the valuations, info, complements on the sketchy photo, etc. I think this will be interesting and helpful to the owner!
 
You asked if we would be interested in a copy of the owner's manual. Thank you! I think that would be helpful and fun for my boss if you still have access to it. Just let me know. I know it's been a couple months since you posted...this "project" wasn't at the top of my priority list.
 
Thanks for the feedback and suggested valuation info. It's been awhile since I've revisited the forum but this info will be helpful to the owner. Thank you!
 
I will copy it when I get a chance. Would need a place to send it or maybe I can scan and email it if I have an e-mail address. I've been putting tires on mine so I can move it and maybe keep it for a yard ornament. Since there are so many around like yours in good shape old junky tractors are only worth scrap price.cl.
