Is it possible that this is a Ferguson brand boom pole? The paint color is sort of Ferguson gray. (What's left of it anyway)

The part that hooks to the tractor is made to hook to the split pin below where the regular top link attachment point is.

I'm thinking about selling it. Any idea what it's worth?

Go on your local CL and FBM sites and search for similar poles. I've seen several different terms used.

I paid like $75 for mine last summer. $150 is a frequent listing around me. Sometimes higher, but those listings sit for weeks.

Price it for how quick you want to move it along to reclaim space.

CL has become less frequently used, FBM is more popular lately.

Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, I got mine a few years ago for 80$. I dont use it too often but when I do Im glad I have it.
 
I don't think that's factory.

Tried to find a picture, but the one I recall had a curve to the boom.

The brand would only matter to a collector, as long as it is functional it's
worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

I think I would start about $150-200, see if you get any takers.
 
Orignal Ferguson folded like that but I was thinking it was a flat bar and not a pipe bar lifting bar. Uncle had one but gone for 50 years so don't rember for sure if flat or pipe. Bur that folding made it to work on different lift heights. Wish I could have gotten it.
 
I have a Handy boom pole and a Handy boom pole brochure. Apparently, they were an aftermarket item back in the day, aimed at Ferguson
owners. There is no tag on it. Yours looks different in a few ways than mine - the part that hooks to the tractor is different, the top bracing rod on mine is
round, not flat. They also made a Handy front bumper, which I don't have. The brochure does not say where they were made.

I like that Handy front bumper with tongue.

I picked up one of those Lincoln 'buzz box' welders last fall to teac myself some stick welding and that bumper style looks like a good early project.

Remember that after fitting a bumper you might need a longer crank handle because the factory one won't reach .

Good point.

We don't use hand cranks, too dangerous back in the day, too dangerous today. Sure, many people still use them, sometimes on youtube you can find people using them and you wince because they stand or lean right into a potential kickback. A battery and starter are pretty cheap insurance, or a little hill if not.

"The hand crank used to start early automobiles could kick back under some circumstances. Byron Carter, founder of Cartercar, died from complications after such an accident in Detroit's Belle Isle park. Henry M. Leland the head of Cadillac became determined to develop an electric self-starting device. When Leland's engineers failed to develop a self-starter small enough to be practical he consulted Kettering, and Delco developed a practical model by February 1911" -- wikipedia for Kettering
