1949 B

[Mark_in_In]

I have found a 1949 b on craigslist that he's been torn down and started rebuild. He says it needs rear tires and gauges and fuel tank. He's asking 1400 but has it on eBay for 900. I think it's worth about 500. What does everyone think?
Thanks

get in contact with him aand see if he will sell it outright. A non running B for 1900. seems like prices are going up these days

That is a little high. Rear tires and tubes are going to cost you $800 plus new. My 2 cents stay away from it. For that price you can find one already together and running

I saw a really nice one with new tires go at an auction in Ohio a few months ago and it only brought $1,100 A complete later A unstuck but not running , but rusty only brought $175.00
Prices are WAY down on the common models.

from what I can see you"d be buying a pig in a poke. Too much, buy one you can drive....many of them out there for $2000-2500.

I went and looked at it. It looks like a decent tractor, It does need new rear tires and put back together. its not stuck. Does have new front tires, new muffler and batery box. I noticed a hole in the hood side front. also the air intake had a few holes in it. couple things that bugs me that its been sitting 4-5 yrs and there seemed to be alot of oil/grease on the rear around the pto.
What is a fair price? i wish it was at least running.
