I have this 870 here I picked up a couple years ago. Seems everytime some one checks it out they make the comment,"oh , it's a gas, thats a rare collector", then this morning on Agtalk I see some one make the same comment on an 870 gas some one posted a few pics of. Are they rare? I was going to be putting her up for sale near future after paint, but since we adjusted the valves she is like a whole nother tractor. Thinking maybe I should just fix her up and keep as a collector. I have the 544 deisel row crop hydro, which I never see anywhere, so that one I am keeping, the 1206's allways seem to bring good demand, should I be adding this 870 to my group of "best restore and hang on to" with the 1206 and 544D?

sent email.

There is at least one less than there used to be... I killed one this summer for parts to fix my 770 diesel.

I have only seen a couple 70 series gas tractors in my part of the world. At least 25 to 1 diesel to gas(just counting the 7, 8 and 9).
The dread of burning 50 gallons of gas in an afternoon would keep me from wanting one.

I need some gas engine parts... email open
