Wants an extra $250.00 for the swinging drawbar assembly. What do you think? Too Pricey or is he in th ballpark? Many new parts and recent engine overhaul. You know more about Oliver's than me,.I am a Ford Guy.You can e-mail me with your comments and questions or say what you think on this post. [Reply]   [No Email]

My personal take is if the guy was OK with not putting two of the same tire on to make it 100%, what else did he skimp on. Have you looked at it in person. The pictures are at a distance where a just throw it on paint job will look good. I'd try and get him down to $4k.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Fair price for the drawbar. I am in the process of restoring a 1966 550 and will have for more than $5000 in it when its finished. Just my 2-cents worth.   [Reply]  [No Email]

But at that price, he sure should throw in the drawbar. My 550 diesel is going in the shop this spring- has drawbar, PS, and remote, but just about everything needs some work. Will be looking at that price when I'm done, but don't know how much I'll be into it by then. Will probably end up keeping it- if I get it to where my wife can start it without holding her mouth right, she probably won't let me sell it.   [Reply]  [No Email]

About right on the drawbar too. Sumerix Equipment up in Lachine had a 75 a few yers ago in super nice shape. They were asking $7500 for that one. Make sure you get the brackets that bolt to the rear axle for the drawbar,I don't see them on there in the pictures.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I"ll be sure to ask about the brackets. I assume it has live pto or independent pto. 5-speed or six speed tranny? It does have remote hydraulics.   [Reply]  [No Email]
