Guy up the road has 4 for sale. Take your pick $500 each. Worth it?

warbaby · Mar 16, 2021

yes! get them all and you'll have spares-a-plenty. There are still a lot of parts available for them and they are tough little machines.

I came close to buying one in 1970 for a special purpose but then backed out. They are not even half the tractor of a Farmall Cub. But, nonetheless, cute and amusing. Quite well built. But not a Farmall Cub.

C.Amick · Mar 16, 2021

The wheels on those tractors always looked to me to be the same as a Farmall Cub wheels.

Look at all the powerlines and slip clutches on the rack in the third picture. Some of the powerlines have CV u-joints that cost big BUCKS!

Would be a better investment than the tractors??

Interesting article about them in last month's antique tractor Digest. They were made up until the early 90s. Several models were produced as well as Manny implements, including plows mowers loaders cultivators planters,etc. There is even a collectors club for them.

If that would get all of them it mite be worth it. But not a piece.

super99 · Mar 16, 2021

Too rich for my blood!! Maybe if they ran, as is, I'd probably give $500 for the lot of them.

This maybe urban legendThe transmission, rearmed and steering box were from the Crosley automobile

Traditional Farmer · Mar 16, 2021

I'd definitely get the one with the 3pt and tool bar.Either one would bring $500 at an auction in my area.

I just sent you an email to the fence guy please read if you like ,, Thank you

They are handy little tractors. Like TF said if you get one I'd definitely pick one with the Cat 0 3-point. I don't see any levers for the optional tandem transmission but that adds value too. I have this 2418 and really enjoy using it.

I sold a nice one with a belly mower for $1000 in Wisconsin at an auction.

maybe if "you had nowhere to go and all day to get there".
It would drive me nuts to do any amount of work with one that size.

Kevin a guy up here has 5 of them. He loves them! Lol. He has one for mowing one on a splitter one with a blade. His legs are about useless and a couple of his tractors have hand brakes. I drove by one day he was cutting firewood kinda like sitting position. He was smiling away. He used to be a heavy equipment operator and mechanic only a few years older than me. He also lives off the grid battery solar and generator set up all by him.

First photo is his old Case loader tractor hard for me to see on the phone!

Sprint 6 · Mar 17, 2021

The one in the last pic would be worth the most. It looks to have the auxiliary transmission and hydraulics. The one in the third pic has an incorrect Briggs and Stratton engine, which is probably only 10hp at most, because the block looks to be aluminum.

Sprint 6 · Mar 17, 2021

I might add, the last one is the only one worth near $500, but I would still negotiate. The others look pretty beat, probably $100-200 each is all I would go.

Brendon-KS · Mar 17, 2021

Your statement confuses me. The Power King was designed and marketed as a large garden tractor, not a small farm tractor. There are actually few (if any) other garden tractors of that vintage that could out-work a Power King due to their physical size and large tires.

Part Time Pete · Mar 17, 2021

Hey Greg - are they Jims?

Geo-TH,In · Mar 17, 2021

greg,
I think the case loader may have been Terramites first attempt at making loaders and backhoes for garden tractors before they decided to build their own loader/hoes.

Roger...there is 8000-1000 shafts in that barn.......asking price for everything in there $20,000. Too rich for me.

4wdtom · Mar 17, 2021

Those look like mid 70 or newer. They are good little tractors. I have two. one nice one I paid $1000 for and one about like some of those I am working on. Have it pretty much apart now. Two transmissions is a plus with hydraulics. Horse power not much of a deal, those of that vintage will have plenty of power. New transmission parts are available. The Transmissions are Borg Warner T 92s, they were used in Crosley cars, same for the rear ends I think. Earlier ones used used ford rear ends I think. I was able to get a reprint manual for about that year from Jensales.

Traditional Farmer · Mar 17, 2021

Great tractors just the right size for large gardens and truck patches,my grandfather had one he used for years.Also their Cat 0 tool bars were real handy and well built.

greg oliver · Mar 17, 2021

Pete yes they are.

greg oliver · Mar 17, 2021

George My son went and bought a new Kubota. We went tractor shopping on Saturday and looked at a few different makes. He liked that the Kubota was a little higher off the ground. He bought the loader back hoe and 5 foot mower deck. Wanted a cab but just couldnt justify the extra $6500. Going with the cheaper plastic winter cab.

CaseChev · Mar 17, 2021

As mentioned, the T-92 transmission was used in Crosley as I had several of them. The center section for the rear axle was Ford style from 1928 thru 1948. The steering I think was a Ross that was used in lots of older small tractors.

(quoted from post at 11:56:33 03/17/21) The one in the last pic would be worth the most. It looks to have the auxiliary transmission and hydraulics. The one in the third pic has an incorrect Briggs and Stratton engine, which is probably only 10hp at most, because the block looks to be aluminum.

Engineered Products began building tractors in 1946 and went until about 1996 with several different owners in the last several years of existence. When they started they had just one model of tractor. It was the Economy tractor. In the fifties they came out with a smaller model so they needed to come up with model designations. The models for the Economy tractors during this time were Power King for the larger model and Jim Dandy for the smaller model. Both were offered with several different engines and the Power Kings were offered with two different rear wheel sizes. No number designations were in existence.

Around 1976/77 the Economy name was replaced by Power King so Power King was now the tractor's name. Same company, same tractor, just a change of name. They felt that the name "Economy made the tractors sound cheap. Thus started the numbered system that we all like to use but few actually understand. The Jim Dandy became the 1612 and the old Power King models became 1614, 1618, 2414, etc.
