Is there any market out there for 840 two cylinders ? I have a couple of tractors with enough parts to put together one good running tractor. One tractor's serial number traces back to the unit used for the 1000 rpm shaft drip to used after serial # 8400900. No scraper attachment.

I'm sure if you get the word out to the right people, I'd say yes. Put the word out on several strictly JD forums.

Probably where I had the serial numbers researched for all our tractors.

I used a photo ad in Green Magazine to sell my 730. Had it sold for full price ($8400) before I got my issue of the magazine, and the second caller was mad because he couldn't come look.

There's a JD 840 for sale in photo ads on Yesterday's Tractors with a Hancock scraper for $8500 ad #642937

Jim, the ad may well be there but I can't seem to find it. There is a 830 Industrial with a sheeps foot packer for $20,000.
iirc Garry Power has an 840 he was thinking of selling ?

I can't help with the marketability of an 840 but I've used YT classifieds several times (including for the above mentioned 730) and don't have much to show for it. But the price is right.

I put the ad #642937 in YT photo search box and this pops up
