Antique Ford tractors

[Mike McDonald]

I have a Ford 741-5 Serial #137494 and a Ford 861 serial #138248. Both in good condition and running. I would like to know what they are worth.

Is the 741-5 actually a 741-S meaning that it has a Sherman Combo Transmission? I am not very knowledgeable about the value, but I am sure you are going to have to post some pics and give more info than that for value. You will also have to post your location as that also greatly determines value.

Good luck.

You have not provided sufficient information for anyone to provide valuation information beyond a very wide range.

Both tractors are 1961s. The 741-5 should be a wide front end. I would need more info to give you any idea of their worth. Gas or diesel. power steering, condition. Where are you located?

How about some pics?

The 741-5 has a wide front end. It is gas, has power steering and is in good condition. I am located in Illinois. Think it is an old state tractor, but not sure.

 

[Mike McDonald]

Let me know what info you need and I will try to get it to you.
Thanks,

I do have a nice Ford Jubilee, but my question is where can I get a herford like the one in the first picture?

The 4 in 741 means it should have a 4 speed. There was a thread on here several months ago from another guy that has one of those. Tony Jacobs talked to a retired Ford engineer who confirmed that those tractors do exist. The 5 speed was not "officially" an option in the 700/701 series but as I recall the engineer said the tractors were assembled with 4 speeds and then shipped to a contractor who replaced the 4 speed with a 5 speed and then stamped the tractor"s original Model & Serial Numbers into the new transmission. I also recall that they were all sold to State or County Road Departments.

Are you intersted in selling the 741?

 

[Mike McDonald]

Yes I am, but would like to know what it is worth, before any decision is made.

 

[Mike McDonald]

It does have a 5 speed, but do you have any idea what it would be worth?

 

[Mike McDonald]

What information would you like me to send to you?

 

[Leroy Henson]

I am interested. Let me know when you decide.

It looks like a $1500-$2000 tractor to me. The used tractor sales market is really down right now.
