Backhoe What is this Ford 768 3pt backhoe worth?

This backhoe is my grandfathers and it is sitting in his woods. He wants to sell it as he has never used it since he bought it 6-7 years ago. The machine needs work and he said the valves are starting to seize up. I don't think it needs a lot of work but it doesn't look pretty

What do you mean? He bought it 6-7 years ago as part of a package. He was going to fix it up and build a small TLB but never did as he still has a full size TLB. All he ever did to it was unload it from our trailer and set it in the woods out of the way.

Leave it in the woods. The way those cly rods are rusted so bad you will have to spend a lot in order to use it.

I don't want it, he is thinking of selling it and I am curious as to what would be fair to ask. The red cylinder is in good shape and was replaced just before he bought it as part of a package (he wanted the old Ferguson TO-30 and the backhoe was part of the deal)

Looks like a home-built, ROBERT. Put it up for sale for $500. B/Hs do not
like being left outside.
