What's a good price for an AC D19 Gas tractor. The tires are good-75%, the paint and sheet metal are good. This is a one owner tractor. Dual hydraulics, power steering, torque, The man is asking $3300-$3500. Where can I find the value, anyone know a website?? Thanks John

Unless you are buying a gas tractor for a specific reason....easy cold starting, I would not touch one. Have come up from the bottom (poboy) and had to gas it and LP it and finally D it, absolutely no way would I have another gas tractor that I expect to do some real work. Just no comparison to the pulling power vs fuel consumption on the 3 fuels......on my farm anyway.
Had a neighbor with a D (which I thought stood for diesel) 19 Diesel. He ran it for a lot of years and liked it....had what appeared to be normal maintenance items. Seemed like it was easily accessible for maintenance.

Just my personal opinon, it worth a lot more than he'll get for it. I have one and wouldn't part with it. It drinks gas working dirt, but show me another $1500 tractor that can do it. If it is all working, he is on the low side. Of course location does make a difference. So does what you want it for. If you want to plow all day, I'd look at something else. You need a good all round tractor, it has my vote.
Used one of these for a few years, as a feedwagon tractor. Absolutely loved it in terms of reliability, ease of handling and starting, and just overall usefulness.
HATED fuel consumption. Kept it in tip top shape, and the amount of gas that thing would use was simply unbelievable!
Grandpa used to buy and sell tractors as a sideline business / hobby, and he got stuck with that thing.......now I see why!
I'd say for one in good condition, that is a decent price, but be warned! If you are going to work that thing at all, you'd better have a bucket brigade to keep it in fuel.

If it's in decent shape, I'd say the price sounds about right.
Can't say about fuel consumption, the one I have is a diesel.
That being said, I've always liked mine. I bought it in 1972, used it a couple of years and sold it to my dad. Then when he died in 1985, I inherited it back.
When I was farming, I had an 856 Farmall, and I said more than once if it wasn't for the cab, duals, and 30 more hp, I'd just as soon drive the D19.

That is the high side in North-east Iowa. They are a fuel hog and some of them had engine problems. I believe overheating problems and cracked heads.
A good D-17 here will out sell a D-19 here.
It would depend on what you are doing but I would not want a snap couple tractor as my only one. Plus you do not have live PTO. You would have a hand clutch to use if you are doing PTO work.
You can get others with three point for that same money. What are your main uses going to be for it??? That will make a big difference if it is a good fit for you or not.

Or cold starts. The one my grandfather bought new ate three heads within the first year. Put a block heater on it and plugged it into a timer when it got below 60 and didn't have any more trouble til the mid 90s, when it got a gas engine slammed in it.
The hand clutch/ dependent PTO was nice on the round baler, if you had a little slope you could clear a plug out from the seat. Only troubles were it was a hot SOB in the summer with your knees on either side of the bellhousing, and the controls are on the wrong side.
