856 Custom 455 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Poor pictures, but a little info for you. Ugly one is a 1976. Very low hours on a complete engine major. 30.5x32 Firestone 12 ply bias at 98%. Rest of the tractor, common wear for it's age Better looking one, lol, late '80. If it's had any kind of mechanical repairs it's been long enough ago you can't tell. 75% 20.8s. Duals are like Mickey Thompson slicks. Common wear for it's age. No 3pt on either. Both run, clutches feel good. Owner is interested in selling both as a pair for 12000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lorenzo 14,539 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 From what I’ve been told the engine is the least of your worries on one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KY2674 37 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I bought a 78' 4586 at auction a year ago in KY. Early 855 cummins repower shows 4500 hrs on a non working tach poor 30.5 insides and 70% 18.4 duals. Paid $7500 so far no problems but sees very little use . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could see a repowered one being worth more, atleast to me.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisNY 860 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I would say 8-10k would be inline with todays market. The good 30.5's account for a good chunk of that. They both appear to have sat outside for a considerable time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would spend the money on a Steiger If it where me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My brother has one, I have used it and am not impressed. Would spend the money on a Steiger If it where me. I've looked at both of them on 2 different occasions. Once when I took the pictures and another when me and a young helper looked again. Having had one 22 years ago for 8 years too many, I plainly remember the grief and $$$ it cost keeping the old 🐖 going. I have a helper who would like I think to maybe take 2 and make one. I feel there's going to be deep regrets in the end. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redpower1256 31 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 In my part of the world, I've seen them in condition of the top one going for $800 to $1500, and the bottom for about $5000. Not much market or demand for them. I will say the $5k unit had a CAT repower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acem 1,524 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 That's some cheap horsepower. Thx-Ace 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
INTERNATIONAL 1466 1,628 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Had one like the second one. I loved it. I think $12,000 for the pair in their condition is too much though. I sold mine which had eight 20.8 Newish Firestones on it for $10,000. That was 18 years ago and it looked better by quite a ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
856 Custom 455 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Thanks for the response's everyone. I haven't saw in person one sell for a very long time. I looked at auction time for a idea. If old tractors could talk about what they have or haven't had done to them over the year's would help. So much on those 45s are obsolete anymore and simply too expensive. I'm thinking probably just leave them set. They've been there long enough that the tires facing west are starting to show the effects of hot sunny summer day's in Ohio. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
706 German 92 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I bought one a year ago that was rough supposedly had a knock, did not run at the time. Took it home got it running, yep it sounded like a midget was in the lower end of the motor trying to escape with a hammer. Sold it to All States for parts, which not very many parts were good but hey. Bought it for $500 sold it for $3500. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
