John Deere LA Value

[A. Lambert]

Friend of mine might be interested in selling me a JOhn Deere LA. It is a complete tractor that has minimal rust and ran when it was parked in the shed about 5 years ago. It also has a set of mounted John Deere cultivators on it. I was just coriuos that you guys think it is worth. I do not know much about John Deeres and do not know what to offer, but i would really like it. I am located in Eastern Penn. if location effects the value. Thanks, A.J.

Good running and looking LA's bring in the 3500

I would take a hard look at the tires and wheels. Tires don't have to be new to be serviceable, but not having the correct wheels and tires can be very expensive to replace.

Make sure it has a serial# tag! If not they loose value! Chris Post a picture it would help

Cultivators do not add much value but the tag and good rear wheels and tires do. I bought my LA in Mass. about 5 years ago now for $2,800. It had good sheet metal, ran fairly well, good tires on the rear, cultivators, belt pulley, sickle bar mower, and a 1 bottom plow. It had some leaks and some issues once I started restoring it and I did not get the better end of the deal so check it out carefully.
