I have a ford 851.
I"m not sure I am up to owning an antique tractor.
I"ve been watching the paper for tractors but any thing that looks like it would fit the bill is too expensive or to far to actually go look at.
I"m not much of a mechanic, fixing up the old tractor would be expensive but much less than another tractor. I"m just afraid that no matter how much I spend, there will be another part that will break.
Where does one find decent iron?
These are age old Questions I used to be faced with all the time.
I used to Spend up to 3 hours for $75 fee to give a old ford tractor
an evaluation and cost to make repairs needed to make it a decent operating tractor. Generally I would rate it poor, average or good.
condition. and quote parts and labor.
For instance: A Ford 851/with loader..evaluation.
Poor condition @ $5000 minimum for repairs. Not worth fixing
Average condition @$2500 would bring it to good working order.
Good condition @ $1000 for needed repairs
If you have tire or wheel issues this can ad many more dollars.
A good avaluation and estimate might be worth a few bucks to help you make that decision.
