I have a 650 diesel serial number 501
I am starting to slow down and will probably never get it finished. Tractor starts runs bug has compression in the radiator, sheet metal is not good but I have enough good parts to complete the tractor. My question is what’s a fair price to ask? I hate seeing it sit and deteriorate but don’t want to give it away either. I look forward to the comments.
 
Can’t help you with a value but I have this for you. I am not sure where you are at but I know there is a family that lives near Rush City, MN that may be interested in your tractor. They have a collection of McCormick Deering W4 - W9s and a couple of 600s and 650s I believe. They bring them to “Anderson’s Rock Creek Relics” tractor show in Rush City. Jonfmn likely knows their names, he lives near there.
 
Does the engine have the same serial number as the tractor? If the numbers match, I would think it would be more valuable to a collector.

Those 650 diesels, Yanmar made a bunch of them. Simple 2 cylinders and very easy to overhaul.

Because it's a green machine, the prices for one are sky high in the market place over the competitors in that era.

Start with what you paid for it. I'm not saying that's the price you should ask, but use that as a starting point for your price. If you think you got a deal on the tractor, double the price. If you think you paid too much, try to get your money back out of it but don't be surprised if you don't.

You could also put it up for auction, but not one of those small local consignment auctions where everyone brings their junk. This tractor would be ideal for one of the big collector auctions because being 501 it is a collector's piece.

Whatever number you come up with, remember that you can always come down on your price, but you can never go up (ethically).

There are 21 results for 650s on Auctiontime.com if you have an account there. Prices range from $16,000 for restored creampuffs to a few hundred for derelict junkers. "Runs and drives" tractors run from about $3000-$4500. Nicer unrestored examples sold in the $5000-$6000+ range.

From what I describe it’s about a 2k tractor. It’s the serial number that will sell it to a collector. There is lots of them 650’s out there. Would I pay 2 k … no. Too costly with the price of parts. Can put 10k into it easily. Plus I have a pretty nice one.

I have had a hard time finding any WD-650's. if you got a lead on any i would sure be interested. I dont know anything about them, they intrique me, i have an 830 john deere and i think a 650 would be an excellent side by side for a 1960 display, and would be fun to take them to local antique tractor pull

There is no WD in the name. It’s an “International 650” You can have one if you pull out your coin purse IH 650 for sale The 830 tested at 67hp at the drawbar has a bit more power than the 650 with 58hp tested at the drawbar.
 
Both the Deere830 and the IH 650 would take up a lot of trailer room when loading, and are fairly heavy tractors to load on the same load. Not bad for a semi but a pickup would have a pretty good load with them both on the same load.

The 650 is before 1960. The 830 JD ‘s completion is the Ihc 660.

im in northeast ks, my 830 is a 1959, so i was kind of going off tractor data on the time line, by 1960 they were out and the new generation deere was in, 4010 etc. i thought a 660 would be been more of a competitor to the 4010 since it went from 4 cylinder in a 650 to 6 cylinder in a 660. It seems like the 660 came out ahead of deeres new generation, the 660 seems like a full new design like the 10 series deere was. I am still trying to learn my farmall/IH bloodlines, my neighbor has a WD9, 600 and 650, gotta say, sharp looking. Still would be interested in a 650, notice i am not calling it a wd anymore, im trying to fit in 🤣

the 660's came out in 59 and 830 in 58. i pull my 660's against 830's and beat them everytime. the thing is the 4010 came out in 61 and the antique tractor pulls rules are that the model has to be started before 1960 , so that eliminates the 4010 at pulls. the 660 replaced the 650 and is a way more powerful tractor. the 930 case is also in the same era. i have the whole set of these ih's. your a long ways away.
