I think I paid around $2800 for my 600 ten years ago, but it is a
nice running one. Sheet metal was okay, original paint, but the
starting system was cobbled up and the starter needed to be
rebuilt. So I wouldn"t think that IF the motor is basically okay and
the head isn"t cracked, a price in the $3000 to $3500 range isn"t
out of line with the way prices have been going up on
machinery. Make sure he gets it running and listen for missing,
puffs of blue/white smoke, look for bubbles in the radiator, etc.
You can get used 18.4x34 tires that are nice pretty reasonably,
they are common. If you have a salvage yard around you can
even get the 7.50x18 fronts used, like I did. Many of the older
combines used that tire on the back.
The other thing is, is it close to you? If you find one three states
away for a thousand less, you"ll pay that back in trucking. It"s not
something to put on a utility trailer!
I use mine on the farm, and in the beginning, it was my biggest
horse, so I"ve spent some time on it. I wouldn"t part with it. So if
that one checks out, go for it!
