My dad just passed away 2 weeks ago has a 8n or 9n tractor and im in charge of liquidating all his assets and coming up with values for the courts. So if anyone can help me out id greatly appreciate it.
I have a close friend whos like a brother who wants to buy the ford and id be grateful to see him have it.

im not sure of the year i think i remember dad saying it was like a 1949 or something but dont hold me to that. the clutch is about shot and the breaks or not that great but she fires right up.
here are a few pic's and she is located in the east texas area. thanks again

Well it's definately not an 8N or 9N.
It's the next genertion of Ford the NAA - built 53 and 54 only. The 53s were the Jubilees.
Looks like decent but unmatched tires and 12 volt on it.
To the court - I'd say about $2000 to $2500. At least that's what it would fetch here if it ran good as you say.
 
That's an NAA, either a '53 or '54. (Often called a Jubilee, but
that is only correct for a '53 model. )
Prices vary regionally. Here, I'd think that one, as described,
would be worth $2000 or so.
 
Thanks everyone

so even with needing a paint job and new clutch someone would be getting a good deal at 1800 ???

sure, that's a fair deal. good tractors
paint means zero. Most of us here would rather buy one that looks like that than one with a quickie mess of a paint job.
Clutch job is easy and cheap, but it might not even need it.
Most I buy just need adjusting and then some hard tractor dirt work to clean it up. Especially if it has been sitting.
 
Ask $3500 for your Ford tractor. You can always back down on the price but it is difficult to raise the price. That tractor looks to be in pretty good shape and would restore nicely.

You will know quickly if you are over priced. You simply won't get any response. I agree with the $2000 to $2500 pricing. The $3500 pricing ship sailed 5 years ago.
 
I saw a nice orginal sell Saturday with the original paperwork for 2200.That tractor around here would bring 1000 to 1500.I wouldn't have even told the court he owned it.
 
You can generally get a little more money selling privately than at an auction. At an auction you're limited at what you can do to test out the tractor, so you're really buying almost "sight unseen." In a private sale, you can let the potential buyers take an extended ride, or even hook up an implement and let them work it a little.

I would start at $2500, and let them haggle you down to $1800. If you start at $1800, you'll be lucky to get $1500, and if you say $1800 FIRM, nobody will call.
 
Definitely not a number series N. As suggested NAA or hundred series. I'd say 1800 would be very fair.

It's definitely a Jubilee or Naa because of the Nut on the rear axle. The hundreds will NOT have the nut. I would put it $1200 to $1700 depending on the mechanical condition!
 
That's not an N. it's a 53 or 54 NAA.

I was at an auction two years a go. A 54 with four
rotten tires and not running sold for $1800.00

That tractor would bring at least $2500 in
nebraska.
 
If the court is involved, it means there are other heirs watching over his shoulder- and they would know about the tractor and other assets, and he'd be in deep doo if he tried to hide them.

I agree on $1,800 or so- and that's what I'd tell the court. Always keep values conservative, because the value you state tends to become set in stone in the minds of the other heirs, and there'll be lots of flak if it won't bring the optimistic price. Ask $2,300, take less. Don't ask $3,500 as no one will call.
 
I know of a couple local estates that were single
heir that still turned every little thing into the court.By the time the court and the lawyers get a cut there's not much left.The court and lawyer take there cut off the top of the highest appraised value of estate items,even if they don't bring the appraisal when sold.One guy even turned in ear corn in the corn crib.He wasn't allowed to feed it to a few steers his dad had and he had to go buy corn.
 
Tazzer, where are you in East Texas? I'm in west
Louisiana, and I might like to take a look at it.
E-mail is open.
