Title: Old tractors
Post by: RSI on December 03, 2017, 10:17:54 PM
I just bought a house that has these two old rusty tractors on the property. Do they likely have any value beyond scrap iron? https://photos.app.goo.gl/PtTuoEytlz9dJkwi1

They both look like international harvesters. The newer one miht be a super C if it has the fast hitch. But not sure.

I’ll second the IH thing, the right person might give you more than scrap price of rem, try Craigslist.

$500.00-$700.00 each to the right person.

To me it looks like a Farmall F-12 and a Farmall H. They do have some value but not seeing them up close it's hard to say how much.

Top one doesn't look familiar to me, but the lower one looks a lot like an H Farmall. My grandpa had one of those when I was a kid that I grew up on, and I always wanted to buy one for myself but seeing as I don't do any farming, seems a little silly lol. A good condition H in my area can be had for around $1200 all day, not sure what a non runner would be worth. Definitely more than scrap though

Get yourself an H then put a belly mower on it.

RSI, there is a guy just north of Portage that rebuilds tractors. He might have a better idea what they are and might be worth. I'll try to remember to text you his name in case you want to contact him.

BudMan is spot on. The one with the full tin work is a farmall H the other is an F-12. Not worth a lot of money , both are really easy to work on and parts are readily available. Standing behind the H the serial number is on an aluminum tag on on the left side of the bell housing behind the motor. The f-12 tag would be on the back of the toolbox under the fuel tank. If you can still make out any of the numbers go to tractordata.com for information and the year built. I have a bunch of stuff in my yard that looks just like what you have there , don't have the heart to scrap tractors.

I think the one says F14 on it but is so rusty, it is hard to tell for sure.
I will try finding the serial number tags when the weather warms up a bit.

As far as I can tell, everything is frozen up on them. I am guessing they have been sitting there for at least 30 or 40 years.

I don't plan on doing anything with them till spring. I am thinking I will just put them on craigslist then and see if there is any interest.

Froze up or not some of the castings are worth quite a bit.

We have a lot of Oliver stuff stored, castings are worth a little, straight tin is worth its weight in gold practically. The side covers are really high dollar items as most of the time they got took off as they cooled better without them, then at some point they’d get damaged from laying around.

The corn picker rear ends are worth quite a bit to the antique tractor pullers, different ratios compared to the standard row crops.

For sure Farmal  could be a f12 f-30 and the other h or m but looks like a h,these are great tractors grew up farming with them.These tractors will go forever with little requirements ! Don't scrap them! Sad they don't bring what the green ones do but they were and still are just as good and many including my brother still use these everyday!

I still routinely use my Grandfathers 1963 Oliver 1600, also have a late 50’s Oliver 88 that gets used a lot. Oldest on the farm is a ’49 Oliver 77, it has a cracked block though, have a spare block, just no time to put it together.

They are in Wisconsin.

The newer one is an H. The decal is still readable on it.
