Ran across this ad on facebook. Looks nice but thats got to be the I dont want to sell it price.

He seems to be confusing what he has in it and what its worth. Its for sure worth more than others youll see for sale. But afraid he may end up disappointed in the offers he gets.

I had a friend in Alaska that owned a horse farm. He had a super nice Tenn
Walking mare that several people wanted to buy her. He always put the price
so high that no one would buy her. His words were If you don't want to sell
her, put the price so high that only two fools would do it. If they were fool
enough to pay it he would be fool enough to take it. He never sold her the
whole time I was stationed there. I have always remembered that and have used
it a couple times myself. Keith

If it’s been gone all the way through long before I’d buy a new
orange one

There’s one in my neighborhood that had 2500 hours and didn’t need paint or restored. He was asking 17000 and never sold it.

He'll be sitting on that for a long time.

I have to admit I've NEVER seen a nicer, cleaner 1086 since I walked out of the FARMALL PLANT the last
time in 1981. I think it's worth a premium because of the obvious care it's had and nice clean shape
it's in. But maybe a price around $25,000-$27,000 is closer to what it's worth. The engine still has 3400
hours on it.

1086 was a good tractor but, for that kind of doe, I
rather pickup an old Magnum . Even with twice the
hours on the Magnum, it would still be a far better
tractor to go out and use, and about the same $$

But Honey I am trying to sell them! I have a Facebook ad for the 1086. I am sure I will get a call any day now.

greg oliver · Jun 23, 2020

Tim I saw that ad yesterday and thought that’s crazy! Last
week an 886 that was stuck in park was around $4500.

Have you seen it in person? It is RARE that a tractor looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. Even if you're not trying, pictures hide a lot of sins. If you do it right, you can make a heap look like a brand new machine.

Wife: You have too much money in that tractor. You need to get rid of that tractor!

Well, Honey, I have it listed for sale!

Kinda reminds me of a Cousin of mine over 30 years ago. Had just had his W6 painted up by a professional painter. (The painter was a
professional body man married to his neice.) Someone asked the price of it and he named some figure that he thought was high. Then the
guy wanted to know when he could pick it up!

He ended up selling it to the neice's husband. And as far as I know, he still has the tractor, but not the neice for his wife any more.

But some things you just don't put a price on until you are ready to sell.

Couldn't use it anyway, might scratch
the paint on the drawbar.

Absent Minded Farmer · Jun 23, 2020

Yeah, I agree on the price. I've been looking at a 1586 on Tractorhouse that's all original with only 623 hours. The tractor IS a gem, but not priced
very reasonably.

I put a hard plastic washer on top of the drawbar.

Anybody got any 8 tracks laying around? :lol:

I have an Allis WD45 I restored with my dad a few years ago. About every show I take it too someone asks me what my price is. I tell them I have a standing offer of $5500 and won't take it to which most at that point think I'm nuts and if someone stays and asks my number I just say we're talking at least 5 digits.

The tractor is more about the memories than the money. It happens to be a tractor that was once owned by the guy who got me into this mess and it was his favorite tractor even though it was very rough when he owned it. He was a good friend who is no longer with us and I also spent many hours with my dad working on it, so I guess it is what it is

The "I dont want to sell it price"??
