Need help with price...

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I have a question about a tractor package and since I haven't bought a sears for quite a while I haven't followed the prices. I'm looking at a Sears SS/16 twin. Runs good, has the rear 3pt, plastic covered wheel weights and chains. Comes with a snowblower, side sickle mower, one bottom plow, rear blade, rear basket.... and manuals. The condition is very good on everything, I'm picky and it looks like a very nice original.

What do you guys feel is a safe and fair price?

I'm in Nebraska.

Thanks

Tyson

I am not sure how many SEARS tractors are around you, and we all know that price is dependent on condition as well as availability, but I have some numbers listed that may (or may not) be close! And this is just my opinion!

Totals $1450 

 

Sears SS/16 twin & manuals                             $500

rear 3pt                                                              $100

plastic covered wheel weights and chains        $100

snow-blower                                                      $200

side sickle mower                                              $300

one bottom plow                                                $100

rear blade                                                          $100

rear basket              ??                                      $  50

I think KC9KAS  has good prices, but I would consider those "retail" prices.  As a group buy, I would offer much less.  Maybe start around $750 and max out at $950?

If in good condition over a thousand for sure! 

My 2 cents!  And I have a couple.

I think no matter what you should post some pics because who doesn't want to see an old Sears that is sicklebar capable ?

How did the negotiations go?  Did you get the tractor or not?  Curious and all that!

I did get it...for a pretty fair price I think.  It runs decent but smokes a tad.  Everything is in really good shape considering it's over 40 years old.  Sears made a good tractor back then.  The snow blower looks hardly used.  The seat is good, the tires stay up and everything is original.  Do you think the sickle bar mower is a Haban?  Did they make that for Sears or was it made by someone else?

Great Tractors!  Durable with I think as many attachments as WH had!

But of course Sears didn't make the tractor or attachments.  Roper and later AYP made the tractors for Sears.
