Will, There are lots of ways to look at it. I agree with the other posts. Keep in mind the add ons you have. original 3 point +/- $800; wide front if Deere square tube +/- $1200; fenders $400; new rear tires +/- $480; good running basic tractor will bring $2500- $3500 in the midwest. Add it up and see what you have.

Will;

There is one simular to what you describe sitting on a lawn for sale on Hy8 about a mile east of the Hy61 and Hy 8 interesection in Forest Lake Mn. It has a sign on it that says $6900. It looks very good form the road but I didn't stop for a closer look. Was afraid I might like it ): I also would prefer pony start if I were to ever to get one.

There seem to be a few advertized in the $3000 price range. As the other guy said, if you have to get into the engine you can quickly add two or three thousand to the price. But then you can also pay a premium to get a good one and still have to spend the two to three thousand to fix it.

As for the tractor I mentioned, I think $6900 is a bit high but if it is really as good as it looks form a distance it might even be a good deal.

After my comments, I hope the one in FL isn't yours ):

Have a good one

I've purchased two 730s in the last three years. The first one, what a bargain, sold for $2000. Then I had to put another $2500 in it to make a good servicable tractor. Since my labor seems to be worth absolutely nothing, we won't count the time I put in overhauling the motor, repairing the clutch, steering leak, and transmission, replacing the tires, flywheel, and injectors. When I bought the second one for $4050 it ran and started very well but am now having to perform surgery on the transmission, clutch, and steering bolster and replace one rear tire rim. I guess what I'm saying is that a tractor that has absolutely nothing wrong now is worth $5000 but it would have to have had a lot of real reconditioning work done on it recently before I would pay more because of all the things that need repairing after you run it for 25 hours.
