Ford 600 value

[Kevin (FL)]

Anyone out there willing to provide me with a rough value for a non-running (engine free) 600, with decent sheet metal, (missing grill though), good rear tires/rims and a 5' bush hog needing a bunch of fab & welding work. I'm looking to buy the machine to get the sheet metal to fix my old 801 that was crushed by an oak during a hurricane. Figured the lift parts and transmission were worth something too.

Thanks in advance.

i just sold my restored ford jubilee for 4k. bought it as a running tractor with the hydraulics not working and a caracked block for 1400. becasuse its not running you cant test anything so it could just be the motor OR everything is worn out. around here non-runners go for roughly 500, sometimes more if its real nice except the motor, and less for a pile of scrap metal that was once a tractor.

Depends on what's wrong with it other than not starting. probably $1500- $2000 I'm guessing. If it was around here and in that good of shape for the tractor alone.

Is this a tractor someone is selling locally?
If so what is his asking price? Or is he looking for you to make an offer?
It's one thing to buy a tractor to part out. Another to buy a hulk because you need specific parts off of it and hope to reduce your cost by selling off the extras.
I would offer scrap price for the mower - $50?
And maybe $1200 for the tractor - the value of the tin and tires you want/need.

Non running tractor is tops $500 then the hog another $250 if in good enough shape to use. From what you say I would say around $400 give ot take a little bit but not much

value is worth about 2500 running with 75% tires everything working, good sheet metal, good starting system 12v or 6v system. price goes up with new paint and clean componets such as new proofmeter, bat tie down, new steering wheel, new guages clean exaust exaust system componets and just plain cleaned up and not mickey moused together

No more than a thousand bucks. No less than 500.

i'm with old and ud partially.

the mower, if it needs work is scrap.

offer low.. sub-100$

and the non runner? sorry.. I don't pay mor ethan 500$ for non runners.

worst case is you get the tins and tires off of it and the rest is scrap iron and 9$ per 100#.. the tins and tires should be your purchase value, plus a lil bonus for the work dragging it home.

if the unit ran.. that changes everything.

The engine runs, but poorly-- two cylinders have low compression. Lift & PTO both work...no power steering though....

Seller was asking $800...got him down to $550 and went ahead and bought it...I've seen hoods for the these Fords go pretty high so I figured the other parts were worth the $$. The rears have plenty of (matching) tread and no dry rotting that I can see....

 

[souNdguy]

the 'poorly running' is an issue.

could be blown headgasket.. bad head.. bad block.. bad valves.. bad loiner, bad rings or a combination.

From what have seen on Craigs and several other sites, you got price about right. $40-$80 per tire mount and dismount to better rims if needed, and you just made your money back.

Have seen one person locally(a bit dishonest in his dealings) have a pair of Jubilees trying to get rid of for longest time. Now he's stuck with pair of Mitsubishi >25hp tractors that he can't get rid of for under 1500.
Tampa-Lakeland-Plant city area seems to be lower priced. Jax-Orlando higher priced, and panhandle varies some. Have to agree with Sound, you got price right, just how much work to fix what is wrong next question.

Good job.

At $550 I'da pulled the trigger, too. You should be able to make that back selling the parts you don"t need.
