I heard about a loader for an 8N in the area so I went looking for it today. I found the loader along with the 49 8N that it came off. Both the loader and the 8N are in pretty sad condition. The loader was used hard and left to die in the weather for more than 20 years.

The tractor has been sitting for about 10 years. It is missing the right fender but is otherwise complete. It has a Sherman step down on it. The owner tells me it also has dual rear wheels but they were not on the tractor and I did not see them. The owner says he has a mower and cement mixer for the tractor but they have also been in the weather and a lot of brush has grown around them so I could not get close enough to check condition.

I asked the owner what he wanted for the whole lot and he said he didn't know because he didn't know what it was worth. Do any of you have an idea what it is worth? Is the Sherman desireable?

This tractor has been there a long time and probably isn't going anywhere soon.

On this side of the world, an 8n in restorable, but not running condition goes for about $1,000 - $1,500. I bought '50 8N for $1,495 in August that wasn't running, but in solid shape with good sheet metal/original parts. As a newbie to the 8n world, I didn't know what I bought till I got it her home. Fortunately, I got the tractor running quickly and have been chasing down minor problems every since. I've had a helluva good time and learned alot in the process.

What it's worth is what your willing to pay for it. If you figure a nice 8N is worth $3,000 plus or minus, do the math. If you like fixing things and want to restore/fix an old tractor, don't get caught up in the pricing too much. You will probably ending up spending more on the tractor than what it would cost to purchase a solid running 8N, BUT, you will have the pleasure/pride of fixing her up and knowing you did it yourself.

One more opinion....

IMHO a tractor that has been used hard with a loader has a few strikes against it right off the bat - but, since there are many parts only available used, any that are in good (or rebuildable) condition would have value. The engine block and pan if not cracked could be worth salvaging and yes, the Sherman step down is desireable. If water has gotten into the hydraulic system and frozen the pump may be no good but you would have to remove and clean it up some to be sure.

The implements might not have faired as well as the tractor out in the elements. You would have to decide if they are worth restoring.

Unless you have the time to closely check the condition of these things where the tractor sits and are willing to take the time to clean up the whole works later(at least the good parts), it could be a gamble and a losing proposition. Your $$$

N - joy.
