1937 AOS value

Dodgeit · Feb 25, 2017

Ran across a 1937 AOS today. Tag confirms it is an AOS. Not running, motor loose rubber holds air but miss matched, missing all the sheet metal including the grill pieces. Radiator does have the kick out for the grill. Platform is also missing. Nothing I could see suggested any of the castings had been broke and welded.

No pictures were allowed to be taken

Just looking for ball park worth.

Thanks

There was one at a local auction. The big fenders missing, running
and in fair condition it got bought back by the owner. He wanted
3500. The last bid was 2300. The tractor is a real beast. Not sure
what year it was manufactured.

Didn't they only make those for a year or two? The 1937 date mentioned in the original post seemed about right.

Rich,
There were 820 AOS tractors built from 1937 to 1941.

OK thanks! I stand corrected.

There was one that sold in northern Michigan in similar condition last summer. Seems like it
brought somewhere in the $800 dollar range. I would have liked to own it, but had to be somewhere
else that day, and couldn't attend the auction. However, tires and sheet metal for those can eat up
a lot of money....

I want to thank everybody for their feedback.

I'm glad I walked away, as the asking price was stupid high I thought. I remember when it would have brought a pretty penny in this condition.

That would have had me backing up from the start.
