Not a fan of what's it worth but..

[Lane Huls 146]

I've been looking for a 1045 for a long time. I've finally found someone that is both willing to sell and not across the map. My experience with the 1045 is very limited since I can't find them for sale or see many. I have no idea what they are selling for. The one I have found is a restored tractor is overall good condition. Soon as I get a picture I'll share it. I'm in East central illinois, and I'd really appreciate your help

I had a 1045 I bought 3 years ago that was restored but needed freshening up.  I fixed some wiring issues and repainted a few parts, and then restored an RM425 deck and put on the tractor.  I sold the tractor a year ago for $900, and probably had about $1400 into it.  I passed it onto another collector because I had run out of space.  Owning a 1045 is a lot like owning an 854, but with 2 more HP and a larger stance because of the bigger tires.  Also, because the fuel tank is separate from the tank stand (unlike the 854), there isn't the fuel leaking issues that the 2-piece fuel tanks have on the round hood.  If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

What level is the restoration?

My 1045 was the September 2015 tractor on the Wheel Horse calendar for reference.

It's from what was explained to me a 7.5 out of 10. It was taken down pretty much all the way blasted and painted with hvlp gun. Anything that needed done was, but it still has old tires with weather cracking, old wiring, and no seals or bearings that weren't already bad replaced.
