what should be a fair asking price

I have a 1206D with original turbo on it,needs rear tires, battery, and the reverse is out of it. Motor rolls over, its a 1965, there is a Koyker loader that goes with it. What is a fair asking price?

Too many vairables. Condition of the tin? Condition and model of the loader. Worth more if it will start and run even if it needs jump started. Location?

I agree with Tanker - a lot of variables...

Tire condition counts for quite a bit these days, for example...

But there was one (out here in Oklahoma) a while back somewhat similar to your description that sold at auction for $4000. It didn't have a loader.

I'd ask $1, but then I'd only sell it to me.

Seriously, it's nigh on impossible to give you any real number. All we have is your OPINION of the condition of the tractor. We tend to view our equipment being in much better condition than it really is, especially when it comes time to sell.

Pictures would help.

If you price it at $4000 and it's not total junk it will be gone in an hour.
 

Needs tires and reverse out are both huge expenses, as you no doubt already know, or you would get it fixed yourself. Probably not much more than scrap price plus maybe $1000 for the loader.
 
What I would ask would depend what I had in it or what I thought it owed me. In the condition you describe I would not fix it myself. It is a money pit. I bought a pretty nice 806 with an M&W turbo for $4100 and have fed cows with it all winter.
 
will it not move in reverse, or is there just a rhythmic tunk-tunk-tunk when you back up? the latter is a common result of engaging the parking brake when the hi-lo is still in gear on a 7-8-1206. it is annoying but not fatal.
it would make a big difference in value.
 
we bought a 1206 2 years ago that was sitting in a cowyard for 5 years. we had been trying to buy the tractor for some time, tires were all junk( completly bald) hadend ran in 5 years, the tractor had an old telephone booth style cab on it, sheetmatal was all there and not one single dent in it, tach said 5,000 hours...he wanted like 7,000 but we told him we would give him 5000 if it ran. got it running the next day. paid the guy ... put the tractor in reverse and well the least to say it had quite a few teeth missing off the park gear. it costs more money in gaskets and time then what the accuall gear costs. we fixed it (pretty much last gear out of the transmission and restored the tractor completly from goround up. everything was fixed and gone threw new tires,front end, seat,seals hoses, etc, etc.. we sold that tractor to a priviate buyer that was a collector for 27,000
 
OK so you didn't like what you were told.

The tractor itself, bad transmission, not running bad tires is worth a little more than scrap only because the 1206 is becomming a popular collector.

The loader can add value based on 1. condition, 2 model. If the loader is beat up, with repair welds it's worth little to nothing when trying to sell as a unit. Most folks willing to pay any real money for a 1206 could care less about a loader and the 1st thing they would do is remove it. But a loader that has mutipal welds and the frame is bent isn't worth anything and mounted to a tractor can be used as eveidence that the whole thing, tractor and all were abused, price killer right there. A good quality brand name loader, in good condition can really increase the value of a tractor. But the best one that's been repaired sin'y worth near as much.
