Jeff-C175 7,199 #1 Posted March 23, 2021 This machine is behind a storage shed. It's owned by my town and has been sitting back there for a couple years now. I'm wondering what model it is, and what it's value might be. I'm thinking I don't need another project but I'd hate to see this go to the scrap yard if I can get it cheap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #2 Posted March 23, 2021 If it's owned by the town there are specific rules, they can't just sell or give it to an individual. They would have advertise/auction it to general public 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would have advertise/auction it to general public That's what I was thinking too. I know a couple folks over at the town and might be able to persuade them to put it up for auction. I don't know why they just parked it there and left it, probably not running. Might need a ton of work. 7 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: 3500 Didn't think it was that big. I was thinking maybe a 2000 series, but I know next to nothing about them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,813 #5 Posted March 23, 2021 3000 series I'm thinkin... solid seat would suggest early. Probably has engine/transmission issues that's why it was parked. Scrap value. Wouldn't hurt to ask someone on the town board about it tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #6 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) So this hole in the hood would be where the exhaust stack would go then... and that is probably a major concern if it's been sitting in the rain and snow for years with that open to the weather! 51 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: 3500 That does look pretty close Ed! I guess the placement of the headlights varied. I don't see the hole in the hood that I've circled in your pic. I wonder if that's a difference between the Diesel and Gasoline models?

Pollack Pete 2,273 #15 Posted March 23, 2021 Looks pretty close to the ford 3000 that I had until a couple yrs ago.Anyone wondering what the circled thing is in the front of the hood?? Aif filter intake tube with rain cap.Probably has an oil bath air cleaner.Mine did.Mine was a 3 cyl diesel.One heck of a tough tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,481 #16 Posted March 23, 2021 I believe that would be the air intake "air cleaner" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would guess it is a 3000. Probably a 69 or 70. The air cleaner on the side of the hood makes me think that. They were made from the mid 60's to the mid 70's. Later ones had smooth sides like the 3600 tractor that replaced them. As far as value goes? Depends on if it is stuck. Then scrap. But? If it is repairable? $500.- $1500. as is, would not be a surprise They were actually an ok tractor for what it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made a few calls today. Nobody I spoke with seemed to know anything about it! I've got two more calls to make tomorrow, hopefully they will at least know that it exists! If that don't work and nobody knows it's there I'm just going to put on an orange vest and go take it! Edited March 24, 2021 by Jeff-C175 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
