There is an auction coming up that has a 70 Standard diesel. I went and looked it over today, looks pretty good but I have no idea of what the thing would be worth. It is in very good condition, all the metal is in good shape, had paint in the last 10 years, not really restored but real darn good. I did not see any rust through on any steel. Tires are in fairly good shape. It has a real heavy front end, looks more like a 5020 front than an 2 cylinder, and is adjustable. It has clutch problems right now, but is supposed to be fixed by sale date. Auction list says it has problems with pony clutch, lever has a bunch of washers on each side of linkage. Hour meter says 5500 hours but not sure if it works. Has live power, hydraulics, power steering and rockshaft. At one time must have had an 801 on it because the bottom draft link pins are still on the drawbar. I am really impressed how it looks, don't know how big an issue the pony clutch can be tho. Any idea as to a value range on this one? Not very common in my area. Thanks

Just recently sold a 70 Standard for a little over $6000; Nice paint, good tires, both engines ran well. It was a great tractor but I just didnt have enough use for it anymore. A good price for the one you described would be between $4000 and $5000; just my opinion though.

The Standard Chassis look vastly superior to the round tube wide front on a row crop. Those wide round tubes look like an Oliver front axle stuck on as an after thought. And they appear that a good bump would shear them off. A Square wide front on a rowcrop does look much better as it�s under the tractor rather than infront. However it still has a gangly � grown teenager look to it. The Standards wide fenders and platform also provide protection from wheels, axles, rotating brakes and open spaces to fall into. Around here a wide or narrow rowcrop 70,720,730 were unheard of until collectors imported them since the 1980's.Even 60,620 & 630's were usually standards. Instead of l A rowcrops there were numerous AR's. An adjustable standard front axle are less common.

BL, I bought my 70D STd about three years ago at an auction near syracuse KS equipped just as you described. I think there were about three others on the sale bill just like the one I bought. Mine was the last decent one sold (75th tractor on the sale bill) and I paid $3500 without a second thought. None of the 70D std's at this sale were running and that did not seem to matter at all. They are a great tractor, hard to beat in my opinion.
