One of my customers is selling her farm. Mercedes Benz is building a dealership on her land.
Anyway, there’s an old gas Ford farm tractor parked there. She said it’s mine. Does not run currently, but engine turns freely according to her and ran about 8 months ago.
I have no need for it and waaayyyy too many irons in the fire, if you know what I mean. PTO seal has leaked a lot of oil and tires hold air, but need replaced.
I just want to sell it for whatever I can get for it.
Any ideas on an asking price?
She sent me just one picture.
I will get more details in a few days (hours, etc.)

It’s a 1972. I think it may be a 3600.
Last ran September 2020.

It's either a 2000 or a 3000. 2600 or 3600 would have an alternator and a spin on hydraulic filter at the pump.
2000 has an exposed draft control spring behind the seat connected to the top link bracket, 3000 draft control spring is enclosed. 3000 has a flow control valve above your right heel, 2000 does not. All will have 3 sets of numbers/letters hand stamped in the flat horizontal surface behind the starter and below the fuel tank shutoff. Model designation, serial number and unit code which identifies the build date. There may still be a foil tag with this info on the inside of the hinged half of the hood.

Two sticks mean either a 6 speed or 8 speed transmission. All 2000's/3000's with live PTO are 8 speeds, not all 8 speeds have live PTO. Probably worth $800 - $1000 more as a runner than a non-runner.

Ok I finally discovered it’s a 1972 FORD 2000, 982 hours.
She ran last September and may start with a new battery.
PTO seal is gone and leaks real good :)
I listed it for $1100.
