Help with identification/worth

I have a couple of older tractors I would like some help identifying and figuring out a potential value of. Thank you.

It looks from the pic that it could be a Farmall M. From what I can see of the condition I would put the value at between $400 and $3,000. So far as all the others I will suggest between $300 and $15,000

The second tractor is a 1948 Case model D. Don't know about value.

Well, keep in mind two things. One, prices vary from location to location. Two, the market on old tractors is very poor from what it was 10-15 years ago.
They simply aren?t worth much anymore. That being said, I?ll try and give a logical answer for my area. I live in MN.

Here, the Farmall M with the loader does still have some value due to people needing to push snow off their driveways in the winter. Based on the
serial number, this one is a 1944. If it is in good running condition, I?d say you?ll get about $1500 for it if you are ready to sell it right away. Snow will be
here soon, people are looking now. If it?s not running good and your selling as is, $700 or so.

The Case D doesn?t have much desire to it, and that?s being said from someone who prefers Case over many other brands. But, it doesn?t have much
to offer a buyer. By the serial number, that one is a 1948. It is missing the front grill. If it is in good running condition, I?d say you?ll get around $800. If it?s
not running, more like $400.

Again, these are just my opinions, but based on having bought and sold tractors for 30 years.

Thank you for the responses I really appreciate it! They both run well and drive. I did put a little work into them to make them more reliable. I didn't have any issue using the case to disc a garden area and the M one to push snow last year. I have the grill for the case it just is sitting in my garage.

Scoot ..... nice to see a reply from you on this. Out of curiosity, what did you think about the values that some YT'ers have given you? I
suspect a bit lower than you imagined? Funny thing about prices, the only way a guy really finds out is to advertise it ..... so many
variables involved.

Hello,
Well, it wasn't really much different than what I was suspecting. I really appreciated the speedy and helpful feedback. I feel like they gave me a fair range I could expect from a collector to a scrapper or parts guy. It all depends on the needs I guess and condition. I have found out that by advertising things I just get extremely lowballed. I got offered a couple hundred for the M, but could get $800 at the scrap yard for it.... Yes, so many variables involved.

I'm not an IH guy but would easily give $1,000 for the M just to have an extra loader around.Where are you located?

To put even more of a point on the location thing. M Nut said 1500 on the M here in MN. Well I'm in MN. Local guy here sold an M, live hydraulics, add on power steering, add on Cornhusker 3 point hitch, very good runner, new rubber front and rear, all hydraulic loader in good condition, Schwartz wide front and tire chains. Originally he was asking 1800. Finally took 1200. Tried to sell it for almost a year. Here, most folks looking to push snow are buying the compact tractors, new like Kubota or Deere. So the M isn't desired. Too small for real farmers around here and too big for the average home owner. From your picture here in my part of MN I'd say in that 1000-1200 if it runs good and the tires are good. Now over in the middle of the state? 50 miles or so? Lotta smaller farms. Some are still using old tractors like that. Another down side to the M is storage. Too big to be easily stored.

Doubt you'd get $800 scrap for it, local
mixed iron is $50 a ton here. Whole
tractor would bring about $150-200 on the
scales, before they dock for the tires.

M nut, I don't see people looking for loader tractors for snow removal unless it is a compact diesel with a cab. They get snow blowers or pick-up trucks. Now someone with an old tractor may look for a blade or plow or loader in order to push snow with something that he already has.

The Farmall tractor may have extra value because it has a wide front end, but I'm no expert. I sold a Farmall M a few years
ago for $1,300 without a loader. It had a narrow front end, the rear tires were worn, but it was original and ran really good.

Well that's what the scrap guy told me.

I'm located near Minot, North Dakota.

Thank you for the information! I appreciate it.

If the M runs decent I would think it's worth $2,000, but it doesn't sound like others think so! That's a good looking frame mounted loader with a tilt bucket,
and a wide front. And it looks like hoses running to a live pump.

I saw a M sold about a month ago NF,no loader,ran good but nothing special for $1550.

No idea out in the Minot area. Last time I was out that way about the only guys with small equipment like that were collectors. I can buy a new compact tractor that will perform more tasks that an M given implement availability. Plus smaller and easier to store. Or I can buy a 4 wheeler and put a blade on it. Now I have something to push snow, play and take to the lake for ice fishing.

I have an M. It ran. Didn't even start it this year. Got a Ford 860. Shorter, smaller and can get in the woods with a brush cutter way better than the M. Bout the same HP. Factory 3 point with draft control too. I can find implements for it too.

Here, west MN, bout 90 miles south east of Fargo an M, restored, is an 800-1000 tractor. As a working tractor with a loader maybe 1200. Now to make the M really usable you have to add power steering for the loader. That's going to be about $750 out of pocket plus instillation. Your time is worth something. 3 point so you can find usable field ready implements is going to run another 1000. Add on another 1K for a live hydraulics unit. HMMMMM...that's 1200 for the tractor. Plus 750 = 1950. Plus 1K, that's 2950, plus 1K? That's 3950. You can get a pretty decent much newer tractor for that money that has power steering, a factory 3 point with draft control, live hydraulics and live PTO.

Those are all issues that affect the value.

Being in or near Minot? Who, except for collectors wants an M? Or that D Case? And the collector market has been drying up. You my friend are in one of the worst areas I can think of for those tractors.
