185 White Questions

Just purchased a 1986 model 185 White for $27 000 Canadian (about $20 000 US with today's conversion rate) at an auction. It has duals and PFA. The tach does not work so we do not know the hours, it was listed at 7000 hrs but the 91 year old original owner had no idea how accurate that is and by the tractors condition it looks like less hours. We had trouble finding the tractors value as it is not listed in the Blue Book and there are none around here and seem to be few for sale online. So my question is, does anyone know if $27000 Canadian (20 000 US) was a fair price for this tractor? Also are there any partial troubles or weaknesses with this tractor?
 
good tractors

proven drive train and a cummins engine > good combination.

hopefully AGCO will keep parts in stock.

Price. probably not too bad if its in good shape and has good rubber.
 
Certainly do not mean to rain on your parade but in my part of the country that tractor at auction around here would be no more than a 15 thousand dollar tractor. And to do that it would have to be real nice with good rubber. Just a run of the mill one with those hours and a few leaks and dings would be more like a 10 to 12 thousand dollar tractor. That being said I am in central Tennessee and olive/white are just considered not so good. Never were any real dealers in these parts so one does show up for auction usually goes fairly cheap. Good luck and I hope it serves you well.
 
There is one on Kijiji in AB for $27000 Cdn with 8200 hrs but that includes a leon dozer blade. I would think that would be a bit high with that many hours.
 
That one was just at a consignment sale and it went for 19k, was the runner up, that blade is worth some though I figured 3k ish
 
Somebody posted some results on the Oliver forum just the other day. A 2-135 Series 3 MFWD brought $24000.
