I can't help you on what to do with yours, but I can answer your value question with a comparison to my pickup.
I bought my 2000 F-250 Extended cab 6speed manual from Decorah auto in April last year with 202,000 miles for $6,500.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
