stronger800 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Local auction this week. One of my great uncles owned this tractor over 30 years ago, I remember when it was recently painted and beautiful. Looks like it’s at a tough life since then 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sale hasn’t happened yet. No need for it, and essentially no real family connection. He didn’t “farm” with it, just raised a few beef, but I won’t let it get stolen for cheap either. I painted our 806 turbo about a year later after he had that one done, and took this pic of mine two days ago. I’ve heard of a local guying willing to go 10k at the auction. We won’t go that far.

red2thebone sr Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 You should swap oil pans with him. Those M&W pans are sought after items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Do I need a credit check to read about one of these oil pans ? 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I had forgotten about the pan on there. Haven’t seen the tractor in 25+ Years. Had I remembered it a week ago…..actually I still wouldn’t have tried to buy it, as it could be a selling point for the machine and it’s being sold for the guys wife after his passing (years ago). What’s a pan line that worth? 500? 1000? Probably somewhere in between, to a guy that’s really wants one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TractormanMike.mb Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Are there reproduction ones available? At those prices I'm surprised nobody has tried to recast them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try about ten years ago. I had a pan, did the leg work but at that time the $16,000 to make the pattern was the killer for me. People want the original and don't want to pay the big bucks it costs to remake something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Wwwwwwhat? The -pan- us worth 6k? How about with A chip knocked out of one of the fins that’s probably 3/4 x 1/2”?

iowaboy1965 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Those pans are cool....but not 6500or 7500 cool. Not to me anyway..now a repop for 100-200 range I MIGHT do. With inflation and me being on a limited budget everyone else would probably go twice that for a nice repop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 My boss sold one for $4000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 With this style/large diameter oil fill, is that the older style block? Our 806 is a later one, with the oil fill/dipstick tube like an 856 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I once saw a very rough 4020 that had an M&W oil pan on it bring almost $20,000. at a consignment auction. I couldn’t believe it at the time. Before the sale I thought I might buy it and take that off and sell it. There were at least two other guys there that wanted it waaaay more than me.

Dan Robinson Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 With the seperate oil fill and dipstick, that means it's an earlier one. But up to 28xxx serial or so. Also means it had an RD pump at one time. I believe the serial split was about the same time too. On an M&W pan, pretty much bame your price and someone will buy it. I have my eye on a local one.

7and8and1456 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Was there any advantage to those oil pans? More capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Just more cooling from the fins, is what these guys have explained to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
