Treepep 564 #1 Posted February 21 I am curious if anyone has a rough year/value for this machine. Sitting outside at least a decade. The ignition switch and motor turn. All else seems pretty rusted/siezed. Asking Way too much for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desert Sunset and Flambeau Red were used from the time Case started redesigning the Colt till 1969 when they made more refinements and made the tractors more like the big 70 series and clolors went to Desert Sunset and POWER RED. The Desert Sunset was phased out in 79-80 and the whole tractor went to POWER RED. The black frame was used in the late 83 and 84 when John Ingersoll bought the company This should put the tractor some where between 80 & 83.

I am out Thanks gentlemen! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #5 Posted February 21 Stick to the non running rule of a Benny tops. It better be something rare or very special for me to break that rule. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I see it they are asking a C-note for the tractor and another $900 for the "correct" patina...... NOT!!! Edited February 23 by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,607 #7 Posted February 23 (edited) I got all this for free a couple of years ago. P.O even delivered it to my house ! Sat outside for 10 yrs. Wife told him it had to go. New coil, points, battery, front tires, and gas and it fired right up. I cleaned it up, did a little paint work and sold it. Great machine,built like a Sherman tank. Wouldn't mind owning another. Case 224. Not sure of the model you have pictured. Regardless of the model the condition of it dosnt make it worth all that much.
