Propane TO-30 value

I'm thinking it's time to sell a TO-30 I bought a while back. Don't have a good place to keep it, and no time to work on it. Plus I think it was a bad choice for what I wanted to use it for.

Here are the particulars:

It's been converted to propane. There's a large tank sticking up through the modified hood.

It's in fairly rough shape. A little rust on the sheet metal.

It's been converted to 12 volt. Unfortunately it's kind of a half-baked conversion.

Front tires are almost new. Rear tires have a lot of tread, but are weather cracked.

The rear rims were rusting, so I took all the fluid out of the tires and put new tubes in.

It has a Sherman over/under transmission.

I put a new exhaust manifold on it.

Last time I had it running (3 years ago) it didn't have much power. I have no idea why.


Not sure how much to ask for it. I have well over $1,000 in it. But I know all too well that doesn't mean it's worth that much.

If you can give me any guidance regarding what you think I should ask for it I'd appreciate it.
 
Propane with a nicely finished hood would be a hit at shows, and after a long day in the cabbage patch.
I got a decade more out of tires I thought were shot when I bought the tractor. A Sherman hi low?

Are you sure you don't want to start putting a few afternoons into this project? And I bet you are right about never getting your grand back as is, so go to Wally world and a get a fresh tank...
I heard that propane conversions need a lot of tuning to get the same power as factory, I'm sure miner will know more about that. Where are you?
 
You asked where I'm at - I live in central Illinois.

Keeping the tractor and working on it is not an option. I live 125 miles from where it's stored. (Near my parent's farm)

I work alternate weekends. On the weekend I don't work I go back home to help my 78 YO parents on the farm. There is no spare time or money to spend on the tractor. I can't keep up with anything as it is.

The historical society Dad and I belong to has 3 Ferguson tractor mate (side mounted) implements. This tractor was supposed to be a gift to the historical society so they could move the implements and use them.

But we've had it 5 years now and have been able to do almost nothing to it. Someone donated a TO-20 to the historical society, so they no longer need our TO-30. So there's no reason to keep it.
