A couple of weeks ago, I posted a pic of this tractor when it was coming up for auction on a local online auction.
It was described as a '52 8N, and said it wasn't running, had been in storage, and needed a tune up. I asked what people thought it would sell for. Consensus was $600 to $800. Bidding just ended on it for $875.
I didn't bid. I stopped at the auction yard and scoped it out in person, and just couldn't get excited. This picture does wonders for it.
