We went back up on Saturday and dropped off all the paperwork. I'm not regretting my offer. Love to help get it running for their grandkids but I'm not the one to show up with a ton of cash for this. Now if you excuse me, I have a boat to look at and a bridge to buy. Great deals on both!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their input on this old Ford. I did make an offer however they believe it is worth a minimum of $3200. Told them no hard feelings and to take the best offer they can get. Sentimental/emotional value is a hard gap to bridge.

Thanks for the quick response and info. My gut has me in that 500-800 range, on the high side because family. I'll reach out to Forest Lake Tractor Sales and see what they say on the SOS. I'm probably not gonna know the condition till I get her running. If we can make a deal, the fun part will...

Greetings, I am new to the old tractor world and I have the option of picking up a Ford 671 Select O Speed tractor from extended family and I'm trying to determine a ballpark price for it. It is a non runner, last started I believe in 2020. The last time I saw her run was in 1995. Battery is...
