I posted an ad to sell my 1952 8N tractor due to replacing it with my rebuilt NAA project tractor. I have $3100 in it with over $1k of that being in new parts (does not include ANY labor) and was selling it for $3k. I got lots of hits, lots of interest, and lots of visits to look at it - but everyone all said the same thing "I see one for $500 less or so, so I will probably buy that one". Most do not understand what it will cost to get a worn antique tractor into good solid shape - they just look at the buying cost.

Anyway, I reduced my amount to $2800 as I did get a years worth of service out of it, but I will keep it before I go lower. It is getting expensive to fix them up good enough that I would feel comfortable selling it to another person - why would I (or anyone else) want to spend $3k on repairs and sell it for $2k just to save someone else money???

Just my $.02 worth
