Oliver 60 question

if you intend to resell as is, you could double your investment as noted.

if you plan to work on it, i would not do so for the investment value. 60s and 70s tend to be expensive to work on generally and difficult to recoup costs out of.

a perfectly restored 60 is worth no more than $2000 IMHO.

problem with them is that they're nothing more than parade tractors -- no hydraulics, no 3-pt means no chores done.

In addition, many hobbyist restorers restore old tractors to give them something to do; few, if any, desire to or actually make any profit from their beloved hobby.

.....but the original poster was wondering about values and investment recoup, thus my post.

i believe a "restored" super 55 presents additional value to the owner and to its resale value since it can be used as a light chore tractor, besides parade duty. i used to own a 60; i believe it to be the prettiest tractor ever built by anyone. however, on the open market it wasn't worth much -- $1500 with new paint in outstanding (near mint) original condition.

just one guys 2 cents..... ...

I'd jump on that like a tick on a hound dog. You can easily sell it for 10 times what you paid for it. If you want to sell parts off it, you could do even better.
