What would my JD A be worth

I have a 1948 John Deere A. It has year old paint, reconditioned head, good mismatched tires, new seat, new lights, carb rebuilt, and the mag rebuilt. It is a 12 volt conversion. I can not get this tractor to run and I am wanting to move onto other projects. I have spent alot of money and time working on this and am ready to give up. The sheet metal isn't very strait and it will not run. I was wondering if I could get $1600 out of it in this condition, or even get that if it was running. If not, how much do you think I could be able to get out of this. I, like everybody else, do not want to loose money but afraid I am going to no matter what. Thanks in advance for the help.

Kinda depends on location... Some parts of the country seem to bring better money for the A's than others...

Wish I could find one close to drag home and waste my time on!

I just bought a really great running 1948A with rebuilt engine, new clutch parts, excellent rubber, ready to work (needs paint) for $1000.

Maybe you should consider parting it out, you have some rebuilt parts or new parts you may get closer than selling tractor whole; On ebay I have seen good parts block, head, etc go for pretty good money ; Good Luck

Bub, I sold a 46 A slandash last year in fair running condition but poor sheetmetal & tires. Got $975 for it and had about $1075 in it. There were 300,000 As produced and they don't bring a lot of money. If you had the carb, mag, & head redone I would try to get it running. A running tractor is worth more then one that does'nt. Good Luck.

To be perfectly honest with you, it sounds like you have about a $800 tractor the way it sits. I sold a 42' A last year that ran great. NEW mag, professionally rebuilt carb., rebuilt governor, new fanshaft gear, new flywheel, new lights, rebuilt generator, and new gauges. It had good tires and good sheetmetal. I even threw in a extra set of grilles. I advertised it for over a month for $1750 with very few inquiries. I ended up letting it go for $1300. John Deere A's and B's are not bringing near what they were 2 years ago. Bill {Antique Acres}
