well, they ranged from $1200 - $7500..

good news is they're all from IA with one from SD

all stripped, IE one had a trip bucket loader and one had a heat Hauser...

as usual, it's what the current market will bear...

thanks again!

Probably about 1/2 of what you have in it not counting the original purchase price.

it will be the worst nightmare of your life!! LOL!! them 560 diesels are junk!--hardest thing in the world to start---hot or cold! ---fair price,--$500 for parts tractor. Now if it were a gas moror--then that ups the value a lot!

Not where I live, diesels always bring more than gas, yes even in the 560's... Even though I'm not sure what a gas moror is? lol

A healthy D-282 will start just fine with 6 working glow plugs. Without that they won't. 60 years later some folks still don't understand.

I had a gas prior to my diesel...that thing sucked 6 gal hr idling...I run the diesel just to save even more money...

I've had this tractor for over 20 years. It'll start everytime down to 20 degrees without being plugged in. Below 20 I plug it in...-10 or -20? always started...but here's the deal...

I take care of it, ensuring fresh fuel in a clean fuel system and operating glowplugs. 2 800 CCA Optima batteries on a desulfator trickle charger...never a doubt...

You gotta be ahead of the game when it comes to engines and equipment...I always laugh when winter hits and there are those scrambling to buy a snow shovel, start their snowblower for the first time or looking for a battery for their equipment because it failed to start...know your equipment and know your environment...it's not rocket science...
