1979 ford 3600 worth

[Texasmark]

I'll throw a guess out, low end, $3500; high end $5250. I would probably target arout $5000 asking, and take $4500; unless its in just amazing shape. If really nice, I could see as high as $7200. I dont think the soft cab ads any value. Loader does certainly add value, but I have a hard time, even pristine, seeing about $7500.

A couple of years ago I gave $6k for a 3600 (I think they are all diesels if not it is a diesel) that must have had a lot of hours on it but the working parts must have been replaced/overhauled as it operated like new and had nice paint and new tires fore and aft. I have had it long enough to say that it was worth what I paid for it.

No loader on a general purpose, like the basic 3 or 4000 Ford for me. I bought a mid '60's 4000 scrap once with a loader and the front axle was upside down and you could see where it had cracked at the pivot joint in the center, had been welded back an the axle inverted to take the load off somewhat. That did cause the front tires to be cockeyed vertically but it steered ok.

The loader was one of those oil in the pipe frame with a pump that attached to the front of the crankshaft. Got it home and off came the loader selling it for $500. Got the tractor working and used it for many years...did have to do some work on the SOS.
