David Brown-Case, Identifying and validity of restoration vs selling as is

[poparon]

I have a tractor. I believe it is a David Brown Case. It is Large, yellow and white with a squarish front. I need help Identifying this huge tractor and the possible value. I have a buyer. It has been parked for a few years. Son drove it last a few years ago, made some repairs and says it needs a starter and ?other repairs. 2 folk tell me to ask $4,000-5,000 for it. I need to move it. I am open to opinions as to value in its current state, value restored, possibility of having it restored and finding someone to restore it.

Welcome to the Forums.

If you want help to identify it, you need to post some good pictures of it, no one here can see it. Your idea of large and other people's are likely different, the paint of any color can be applied to any tractor, and many have squarish fronts. Just trying to point out how little your description helps.

Why do you believe it is a David Brown. Did you find the serial number nomenclature plate,? What numbers are on it in different locations. The quality of information you receive is contingent on some good identifying numbers and characteristics. BIG and SQUARE will get you very little. sorry jmho. gobble

Yellow and White, big and square.

Yellow and White, big and square.

We need some pictures to help you identify the tractor.

Here is another "Large, yellow and white with a squarish front" tractor. The D21 was normally orange but like many other brands, the industrial models were painted yellow.

I know Case guys might not like this but I can see how at first glance to someone Desert Sunset could be called yellow. However, it is closer to tan or peach to most. The white part is not fitting into this description to well because the balance would be red or orange.
I agree pictures would be helpful.
