Hey guys, I know how tough these value questions can be, but I'm trying to help out a customer. He has a 630 he's wanting to sell at auction, and is interested in knowing an approximate value. Here's the story - 630 gas, rollomatic, good tires front and rear, runs excellent, around 4000 original hours, paint bad - but tin work in decent shape, 3 pt. hitch, 45 loader - decent shape, carb rebuilt, new radiator core, power steering pump rebuilt (I did the work here in the shop last year), new muffler, new seat cushion, basically just a good sound working tractor. The kicker of this whole deal is that the guy bought it new - he's in his 80s and moving off the farm. It has a small power steering leak that he wants fixed before he sells it, so it's here in the shop now. He already sold his B and 3020 (both of which he bought new also) and his real sweet 4440. He wanted to know how much I thought it would be worth. I told him I didn't know for sure, but he would be crazy to take anything less than $3000 (although I'm sure it's worth a lot more), and he thought that sounded pretty good. The bottom line is I would write him a check for whatever he wanted if I had the time and money, I fell in love with it when I was working on it last year, and I don't want to see him get screwed on the deal. I'm almost tempted to talk to him and see if I can work out some kind of deal with him, but I just don't know if I need another tractor right now. That's funny, since when has need factored into these kind of deals? LOL! Anyway, I was just curious if anyone had seen anything similar sell recently and what it brought.
