Hmm, ok I need to prove my price? HeHe, sorry, send me 100.00 and I will prove my price! Tell me something jim, are you buying or selling? Or is this a joke. That is a nice "800"
 
I am trying to obtain information on what a tractor in the above described condition value is . No joke...just an honest request. I have no idea what it is worth in todays market. Who would know the value of Case tractors more than the people on this forum ?
 
Well I'll just throw this out there. Good running diesel 800 would bring $1500-2000. Overhaul adds $500 in sale price. Great tires I would add $750(even though they are worth more). Paint another 250 WFE another 250. So value would be $4500-5000 but honestly in today's market $3500-4000 would be the best you could expect for an 800 even that nice. Just my opinion
 
Nedd, I think your estimate is very close, I think thou I would buy this tractor for that price.
 
Well Jim, you came on pretty direct, so I came back the same way, I think Nedd has what you want.
 

Jim,

I'm relatively new to this forum, but I'm not a /spring chicken/ so take that for what it's worth. However, one thing that not's mentioned is nostalgic value. I believe the recommendations thus far are quite close to what I would pay. However, I could add more $$ for /sentimental/ value IF that applies to you.

I guess sometimes for me, I'm willing to spend a few extra dollars because Case equipment is a bit harder to find (depends on locality) even though it's not in high demand, and my Dad owned Case equipment. That's what drives me to restore the tractors that I purchased recently. I didn't even drive these 8000's as a youngster, but my dad did for quite a few years over numerous Case models.

As such, I personally would be willing to add another 20% if these ideas apply in your situation. If it's all about the $$...then not so much.

The problem with a tractor like that is it's never worth what's been put into it. No doubt it's a very nice tractor and could do a lot of work yet, but what would you do with it? On a real farm it's too small for most things. The eagle hitch doesn't work well for many things like bush hogging without modifications. So it's value is not what some others would be. It's a shame, but it would likely sell for$2500 on most auctions.
 
A 800 that nice,with a German Boch pump,good PS,WFE,fresh overhaul,new tires and GREAT Slick Paint job proper color,no scrapes or dings,wheel weights,really nice seat look like it belongs on it,hood radiator cap cover,good dash and gauges,proper muffler,eagle hitch latch chains and all (no broken parts)all chrome intact,all lights on it,front step added,ethernjection still intact.Just a really complete 800,one of the best I've seen in years.CASEoMatic,brakesw good?
I say if advertised good easy 4500-5000-6000 or MORE!nostalgia bidders $10000.00 for a GREAT COMPLETE tractor for show or work.

At that time and still not a better looking tractor made CASE 800s I love them!
 
I have a 430 with the same eagle hitch. I hook to a brush hog, pallet lifter. Boom pole, and Oliver mounted plow. No modifications were required. I don?t understand why you say it requires modifications?
There are many useful jobs for this tractor even on a modern day farm.

The eagle hitch on small frame tractors is better than the one on large frame tractors like this one. These have the third arm mount covering the PTO so no PTO equipment can be used without mods to either the equipment or tractor. And even if you modify the bracket on the tractor the third arm will be very short causing issues with some equipment. And of course the arms are solid, same as on the small frames, which can be either good or bad depending on what you are doing.
 
Look at the pic of the rear of the tractor. See where the PTO shaft is. Kinda hard to hook up the shaft without making modifications to mount the 3pt top link. Case engineers were not thinking on that set-up with the hog nose.

If I was trying to sell it I would start around $8000 and expect to come down some for a final selling price.

If I was buying then first I would justify a purpose for it, if I need something to run an auger or pull a rake around a $2500 tractor would serve the purpose.
Although this one is all nice and pretty I probably would not bid much more than $4000.

To a collector or someone that wants a pretty unit just like grandpa had their justification of value will likely be much higher.
 
Those are honest estimates . Jim , But They are not for YOUR ABOVE average condition 800.No Doubt there are more 800s in as good of condition as Yours , But We would be hard pressed to find one. not sure why you are fishing fo r a value . but i could only imagine. If You were get the highest dollar for THIS 800? I would suggest the Barret - Jackson auction , Mekums ,Autman auction house . The downturn in farm prices economy may not hurt a gem like this as there is a lot of good money floating about .
 
Jim,

I won't be much help on the price, IMHO it should be worth more than you'll likely get for it. It is a real beauty. Don
