I know this question is full of so many variables that affect price, but what is the average running price of a 730 diesel with good paint, almost new tires, and a good engine? Thanks

Fully restored. I think the tractor will be sitting there for a while!

While I doubt it was properly restored I am sure that you could easily get that much in one at todays parts prices if done RIGHT.

I know the owner of this tractor and have seen it up close numerous times. It is an extremely low-houred tractor that is truly beautiful. I don't know his bottom dollar but it is worth looking at if you want one that is really cherry.

My guess 7500. Tires if new 2000+, 3pt 1000, fenders 300+,fresh rebuild depending how deep it was gone into 2-4000, fresh good paint job 2-3000. with that said I wouldnt pay any more than that but its up to you. Its still possible to stick more $$$ into it. I already have one and know how things can add up.

Row crop, high crop, standard, rice, tire size & brand, fenders, three point hitch, electric or starting engine,quality of prep before painting, paint quality and is that good engine really good or does it run ok with a welded on flywheel? $2500 and up.

I just purchased a 730 Standard Diesel with electric start, correct 3 point hitch, and an adjustable front end, with better than average tin, average paint, and a motor rebuilt a few years ago. I paid $8,900. Those tractors are very hard to find.

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago that talked about the average age of tractor collectors. I think it was 50 years old, but there was a suprisingly large number of collectors under 50 years old.

I am 57 years old and don't have much interest in any tractors that were built pre-1950 (except I do have a John Deere D and McCormick-Deering O-5 that were built in the 1940's), but apparently there is alot of interest in pre-1950's tractors even from younger people.

With the amount of 1st & 2nd generation collectors passing away or reducing the size of their collections. And the declining numbers of new collectors with $$$ and an interest in farm equipment. The tractor collection community is a very small and old segment of the population. I wouldn't pay more that $5000-$6000 keeping in mind the tractor can be used as an additional or standby tractor during peak season. There are garages full of big $$$ model T's, model A's, Ford T Birds, 57 Chevys etc. Problem is the people who bought them new or rode in them as kids are retired. With little $$$, room and good health. Or they are dead. Now the kids and widows want to sell the �old stuff� Hubby/Dad wasted his time and money on. The current generation of collectors aged 35 to 65. They have no emotional tie to "the old stuff" more than 20 to 40 years ago. Collectors are now after 60's to 80's bikes, snowmobiles, trucks, autos, electronics etc.

Really I can't believe there is no interest in 2cyl tractors. I just sold my 830 2cyl this year for $8500 and last year I sold my 730D row crop for $6000 both were in good mechanical shape with electric start, good rice tires and had been used regularly on my farm. Both were bought by collectors in their mid 40's.

Those mid 40's collectors are the last of the 2nd generation. The 730's etc were the tractors they drove as kids or what Dad, Uncle or Granddad had. There may seem like lots of collectors but they are a very small segment of the population. Collector numbers are shrinking due to age and larger corporate farms replacing numerous family farms. The only thing holding up prices are people with off farm income such as hobby farmers, horse owners and rural estate owners. They want some thing cheap compared to new to use on their place.
