8N Funk value

takpak · Jan 22, 2018

Hi all. I'm working with a church charity that had an 8N FUNK donated to them. The previous owner bought it from the restorer, and it has seen virtually no use since. Older restoration, but not used much since restored. Has been stored inside, kept dry and clean. Basically a show tractor. It is in very good shape. Really good paint, new condition tires (still with the molding nubs on them), good running engine, virtually no oil leaks (occasional drip) 12 volt conversion, tight steering, headlights, rear work light, red rear light, all gauges and systems work good. Starts practically on second rotation of engine. All in all I'd say it's a tractor in really good condition. Doesn't need any work to be a show tractor, or a working one either, if so desired. Tire sizes are; 14.9 by 24 on rear, and 6 by 16 on the front. Has the flathead six for the FUNK conversion. Has been serviced and is ready to go to a new owner. What would be a good asking value for the tractor? Prices seem to be all over the place. Best estimate I have garnered is between 6 and 8K. Is this reasonable? Am I low or high?? Thanks for your help.

Here are some pictures of the 8N FUNK tractor that were taken recently.

Seen one on Classic Tractor Fever Sunday. A rather rare tractor but never talked about value. I'd say your estimated value is close but depends on how badly some one wants it.

You're probably in the ball park. The one in demand is the flathead Ford V8 Funk- so I'd make sure to mention the engine in your advertising, to attract the ones who are interested in that particular conversion (and don't mutter an expletive when its not a V8). All that said, I really have no idea how much interest there is in them anymore, as the guys in the hobby are aging.

A lot less 6 cylinder tractors made than 8 cylinder ones So harder for a colector to complete a set.

It appears to have a cast iron oil pan which means that it is an old original as opposed to a modern kit, which of course makes it more valuable. But even more important it has plated lug nuts and a red starter. Add a thousand for those two accuracies. :wink:
