I am looking at a 1963 gasoline John Deere 4010 with a 46a loader tomorrow and am wondering how much such a tractor is worth. The current owner is asking $5200. He says the tractor runs and shifts well, though the carb will most likely need new gaskets or to be rebuilt. It has a 3 pt hitch and dual remotes. The tach shows 1700 hours though he estimates the real number to be about 2300+ as the hour meter stopped working. Tires are reportedly at 50-60% and from the pictures it appears the front of the hood has some noticeable dents/damage. The current owner says he will trade the tractor in at a dealer on Tuesday if it doesn't sell this weekend. What potential problems should I look out for and what should I offer?
Thanks,
