There's a 1960 Ford 801 for sale down the street from me and I think the price is crazy high but wanted some opinions on what to look for and offer. Trying to find a good working tractor, with a loader, under $7500 in NH right now is hard to come by and I like the "antique" part of this one as I can wrench with anyone but otherwise know nothing about these tractors. Some have said stay away from the Selectospeed transmission. Any thoughts on value or what to check when I inspect is appreciated. I included a few lousy pics of pictures so you can see the condition.
The dealer is asking $6,900. I told him that's the highest price in the US for a 55 year old tractor. I was going to offer him $5900 but then I see them going online for $3500-4500 but not in this condition...although 3900 hours seems high.
