John Deere Hit and Miss engine value?

Whichester1 · Jan 10, 2013

A friend of the family who lives in Southern Indiana recently passed away. He had a barn full of items in his "collection" including a John Deere Hit and Miss engine. It does apparently run, but I don't know the horsepower.

Anybody have a ballpark value on these engines. As I said the owners family are friends, I don't want to cheat them but don't want to cheat myself either.

Even ballpark values would be better than I have now.
Thanks,
Bill.

Try the 'stationary engines' forum.(down a little bit) I do know that JD's are almost always more expensive than other makes.

Couple of friends have told me that my Type'E' 1 1/2 horse is worth around $1000. A lot depends on what shape it's in.

Bill,

The horsepower and condition make a large difference. In my opinion, for an engine in running condition but not recently restored;

1-1/2 hp $600-1200;
3 hp $1000-$2000
6 hp $3000-$4500

A picture would be helpful.
