44 D

44 D sold in an online auction in Shelley Idaho a couple of days ago. $1250. Compression was good. Everything seemed to be there. Very good tires. I thought it would bring 3 times that. I grew up on a '48 that Dad sold about 25 years ago for $300. I tracked down the buyer a few years back and he'd had an auction. Dad's tractor brought $6500 unrestored. It went to Belgium.

The Farmall 14 next to it brought $125. Complete tractor, engine free.
 
Took a minute for my mind to adjust to the picture. When I saw 44 D,for some reason I had a Massey Harris 44 diesel in mind. lol

I took this picture of JWondergem's 44 D last weekend.

The buyers for common older tractors just are falling by the wayside. It has to be something kind of rare or it will not bring much money. The serious collector money has moved up in years to the early 1970s. IH 1206s, AC 220s, JD 4520 and etc.

Antique cars have done much the same. The 1960 muscle cars are the hot items right now. Take older 1920 and 1930 cars they have to really rare to have much value. Buddy had a Ford model A that he had restored to better than new. It took him six months to get $5K out of it. He had over $15K in it when he restored it ten years ago. Sad that he had to sell because of health problems.
 
I did not realize that Deere was making tractors during that period of WW2. I knew they were into war stuff about then. Handsome tractors, Drefuss did a nice job on the sheet metal styling. Leo (who worked in that factory 12 years later...awesome foundry activity)
