Tractor Question

Lumpkin Hunter said:

My Dad had a 1970 Ford 2000 gas tractor that he bought new. Now he is gone the tractor needs some small repairs. My Mom has no use for it so I am thinking about making her an offer to buy it. Do any of you have any experience with the buying and selling of older tractors? Do you have any idea what one like it might bring with it in what I would call decent shape for the age? I know this isn't much to go by but any info you can provide will be appreciated.

"Gas" that comes into play with the value of this tractor. I see MANY of these tractors sell every year. Nicer,runs good, gas, good tires sells for about 2500.00. I have seen non running nicer 2000's (minor repairs, carb build, tires ect) sell for 1-2k. I have seen many priced at 3-5k but if you look they are still for sale a year later in most cases. 2500 is a fair price for a non beat up, lift working, fair paint, good tires, good running, GAS ford 2000.

Thanks
I was thinking it would be worth between $1000 and $1500. it needs some engine work, has some dents and broken light where my older brother doesn't watch what he is doing on it, have to shut down the engine to engage the PTO, paint is real rough, one rear brake needs work. I kinda want to buy it to keep my brother from tearing anything else up on it not to mention this is the only new tractor my Dad ever bought. We raised chickens, had a few cows and pasture to take care of through the years. The tractor and I have done a lot of work since he bought it.
