know an very old guy locally no heirs setting on 500 acres of prime land. here is my question behind his barn is a complete and original John deere R model, and what i think is some sort of styled G model, but i could be wrong on that its covered in black paint, no emblems, both have all 4 spoked wheels on rubber. anyway what should i offer him to be fair? they appear to both run, but all tires are on blocks, so i am sure the rubber is wasted 30 yrs ago. dont need no foolish answers, i have been buying things behind barns for years i know how to screw him, beleive me.

Big Time, Not sure where you are located. But it seems to me that ya'll are a lot more proud of non-running old iron than I am. I don't care if
these two tractors were personally owned by Noah
when he took them off the Ark! You said you didn't want to screw this old fellow
so come up with a little less than fair offer.
Shove your hands in your pockets, look at the ground and make an offer on these two old darlins,
if this gentlemen wants to sell he will counter.
So after the smoke clears You might own them
at a some what fair price.

Being a IH man myself I wouldn't give what has
been proposed by others unless it would run or
not stuck Good Luck

The best way to tell if the one Tractor is a G is to look at the frame. The frame is wider on a G than an A or B. The frame will be straight from the main case up towards the head of the engine and then it will curve in towards the center and go on up to the radiator. Also you may want to look for the serial number plate which should tell you what model the tractor is. The A's, B's and G's (styled) should be located on the cluth side of the tractor mounted on the top near the governor housing. If the other tractor is an R it has a diesel engine and will have a 2 cylinder gasoline pony motor under the hood near the dash and fuel tank. Also the R's fuel fill spout is off to the side of the hood not in the center like other John Deere Tractors. The serial plate for an R and D will be found near the drivers area of the tractor (Instead of of the side as the A's and B's. I have also found that if you don't know these tractors by sight and there is not a serial plate you can look at some of the casting numbers on the various parts of the tractor. John Deere A's and B's often have an A or B (depending on which tractor) found in the casting number. I want to say the G should have an F in the casting number but don't hold me to that.

not to farmilliar w/ an R but never seen one on spokes, more likely a D? As far as a G, you won't find a styled G on spokes.

They made spoked steel wheels for the R's but they are scarce. Sounds like you found some cut offs if they are spoked rubber. Last price I got on spoked steel for an 820 (same wheels as an R)was $1800.

If these tractors are in running condition, I think the R would get $3500 and the G would get $3000 in my neck of the woods (SW PA). Try asking on the John Deere page.

BOY that's a LOT of $$$ for the R. Dad paid about $1500 for an R to farm with in the mid '60's!

Yes but you could buy a new pickup back in 1963 for $1600.00 also.Coming up with a fair market value has to be done on a current basis. Tractor values can change almost daily. It's just like the stock market.
