Unfortunately no as two tractors are all my budget can handle.

I don't understand, that tractor would cost you $10,000 to restore if you could find one and the seller has to reduce price from $3500 to $2500.

If that were a rusted out car from the 1960's or 1970's that needed a $50,000 restoration asking price would be minmum $10,000.

I know I see these classic car rust-buckets on Facebook market place everyday.

Supply and demand. How many people specifically want a 1950 Avery A? For every one person looking for the Avery there are 5,000 looking for a 67 GTX, a 69 Camaro, a 66 Mustang or any number of other cars. So that ends up being tens or hundreds of thousands willing to pay up for the right car compared to a handful who want that tractor.

A few years ago there was a guy about 30 miles from me that had one of those he was going to restore but never did. He had most of the tin he bought new and had it running. Last time I was by there it was still setting outside unfinished. I could have bought it for less than $2000 but didn't have the interest in doing it.

That is nice! Most of the Avery's I've seen are single front wheels. I like that wide front much better...

We’ll try and restore one yourself , keep track of your cost ( labor at 100/per hour , paint , tractor parts ,machine shop) from the time you load it up to the time you say it’s restored .

I think they're gonna keep right on reducing the price until they find a buyer. Sure not worth that to me anyway. An oddball. To new to be a Cletrac General and too old to be a Moline BF.
