I will try to make this not long winded. One of my step sons friends father passed away and the man had some old tractors. I told my step son yall could help maybe giving a little advice on maybe price he should ask for the stuff and what some of the stuff actually is . I went Saturday and took several pictures talked with the young man and come to find out his father was my shop teacher in junior high school. I found that to be totally amazing. some of the stuff maybe some of yall might would be interested in maybe not. there also was a fire that burnt one big tractor he was rebuilding a Case 1030 i believe it was but has sheet metal and parts for that that where in another building that didnt get burnt. What i am asking if yall could maybe tell me a price of this stuff because most of yall would know and i dont. He even had a old international bulldozer he was working on also. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is the second tractor. And was told he thinks one is a F-30 and one a F-20 but both say F-20.

If the Farmalls engines are not stuck, 1250 each is probably a starting point. We need pistures of the others to even approximate. Jim

I'm not sure about North Carolina but here in Minnesota those Farmalls don't bring much. I like them and own a couple but they have a lot against them right now. The pre 1940 tractor market is poor because that generation of people are almost gone and the next generation wants what they started farming with. Also they are crank start. Around here you are lucky to get $800 for a running one and scrap price for a rough one.

(quoted from post at 16:36:35 08/13/17) This is the second tractor. And was told he thinks one is a F-30 and one a F-20 but both say F-20.

Click to expand...

Easy and accurate way to tell them apart is a F30 has 2 bolts per side on the bell housing and the F20 only has one bolt on each side. Your first pic is a 37 or later F30. Last pic is a pre 37 F20. The 30 is worth much more than the 20

I'm pretty sure the first photo is an F-30. The F-30 will have a larger fuel tank than the F-20. Clutch pedal is adjustable. Should have two levers on the right side of the transmission.

The second photo is an F-20. It's an older model that should have been painted grey instead of red.

Spent several years working in Cleveland County before returning home to a family farm and visit friends down your way from time to time. Talk your time exploring the barns and sheds. No telling what yall might discover.
