Ford 8N tractor - how much is it worth?
The value of a Ford 8N tractor can vary widely depending on location, condition, and other factors. Currently, typical prices around us range from from around $1,900 to $3,500 for a running tractor in decent to nice condition. Factors like condition, restoration, and rarity can influence the price. Restored examples, like the 1952 Ford 8N sold by RM Sotheby's for $29,120, can fetch significantly higher prices. #Ford8n #classictractor #fordtractor #purplecollarlife
Condition: A tractor in excellent, original condition will be worth more than one with significant wear and tear or rust.
Restoration: Restored tractors, especially those with high-quality restoration work, can command a premium.
Rarity: Certain models or years may be rarer and thus more valuable.
Market Demand: Local and regional demand can also influence prices.
Attachments and Accessories: Tractors with desirable attachments or original accessories can increase their value.
Price Range Examples:
Machinery Pete lists Ford 8N tractors ranging from $1,900 to $4,250.
Fastline shows listings between $1,900 and $2,450.
Machinio notes that 1947-1950 Ford 8Ns typically range from $2,100 to $2,500, while 1951-1952 models can fetch $2,500 to $2,995.
It seems like the $3500 $5000 range is a sweet spot for a nice looking and good running Ford 8N tractor like ours. Nicer restorations are currently in the $5000 to $7500 range.
Things that add to the value are new tires, rims, and tubes, a quality paint job, properly working hydraulics, good clutch, rebuilt engine, working lights, and history of work completed.
