Looks a good bit high to me. I'd say that is a $2000-$2500 tractor at most.

Holy carp! Around here that's $2600 in implements putting that as a $900 tractor. Depending on the condition for everything I'd say it's a deal. Of course that is entirely up to your location and availability. Central US you find real nice $900 tractors all day, over here on the left coast the junk piles start at $1200 and go up from there.

The fact that it's been converted to 12 volt convinces me I want nothing to do with it. :roll:

It wouldn't necessarily convince me of that.
Some are converted to avoid fixing other problems, true.

But some are converted for a host of other reasons.
Like using 12V powered attachments and lights.
The yellow strobe on my snow plow tractor for example.

Or simply because the owner is tired of wasting money on
worthless 6V regulators that cost half the price of a 12V battery
and only last a day. Buy three and you've paid for the conversion.
I have tractors that are still 6V but I've converted
several for this reason alone. Junk replacement parts.

Then you can jump start it normally or use it to jump start other
vehicles, swap batteries around as needed, etc.

Tractor alone, not a good deal but if a guy needed those
implements and tried to buy them separate, add them up
for your area. It may be a fair price.

The box blade appears to be a cheaper, lighter make and not heavy like KingKutter and the woods mower (RM59?) has probably seen its better days. I'm thinking maybe $1200 for implements. In my opinion tractor would have to have sherman overdrive to be a decent buy in this area.

For comparison purposes, not a comment on good or bad price: A year ago I paid $3,100 for a front-mount 1950 8N with original 6-volt, a rear scoop, a heavy rear blade, a Dearborn plow in excellent condition, a 5' Ford brush-cutter mower, a set of tire chains and one of those Ford jacks that lift the tractor with its own hydraulics. The tractor seems to be in great condition other than faded paint. It was overhauled by our local long-time Ford dealer in the 1980s, including new pistons, and has the receipts to prove it. It has been on one 18-acre property since new (only 10 acres tillable); my son bought the property, I bought the equipment. Rear tires are good; fronts are mismatched but work fine. Battery is new. Started up on first crank after sitting inside all winter; the seller had just paid the Ford dealer $700 to diagnose and fix a starting problem that turned out to be in the distributor. (Yikes! But receipt proves it.) As I said, I offer this information only to give you something with which to compare your deal. (My location is southern Minnesota.)

not a good deal.

In my part of the world that wouldn't be a bad deal, assuming you needed all those implements. It looks like a 9N, not a 2N.

It looks the same as our does as well,the early 44
2n's had the I beam style supports the same as the
9n had from what I was told?

here in ohio, that's probably 3k, closer to 35 maybe.

i think it's worth what he's asking.
