Older Model Case Threshing machine

[bjackson]

Hi there,

Curious about what these might sell for. I have no knowledge on what these are worth. The tin is in great shape, it looks complete, I even found the belts stored in an old barn when we bought the place.

Just this evening I had someone drop by and want to buy it on the spot. Was offered $100 and that sounds, low. I imagine I could get more for it in scrap than that.

Idea's, thoughts? It's not going to be used by me so I don't mind letting it go.

depending on what shape it in on the inside all plays in price but at least to me the belts alone if in good shape could bring twice that I would say the offer was very low, I have seen them bring 200.00-2500.00 but the later was the largest Case made and in very good always stored inside machine, also you might check the tool bax and see if it has any factory Case tools as mine had they will bring a few bucks each also just my thoughts

Where are you at? If within decent hauling distance I could get you I am a guessing a thousand for it from the Amish I deal with. Am in western Ohio.

I'm quite a ways from Ohio, up in Northwestern Ontario.

Thanks for the help, going to have a closer look at it today hopefully before the snow flies!

Afraid that is a little far. But my Amish friends would like to have it, they use them all the time. And I think Case is the prefered make.

If it could be put back to work and is complete it would probably bring $1000 or more in pa. Is the bottom rusted out? Has it been inside?

I think I figured from my place to Fort Wayne was a little over 800 miles... Quite a haul indeed!

And the people that would be interested live from 20 to 40 mile south of Ft. Wayne
