Farmall M, IH 715 combines, IH 856, etc. were great machines in their day, but they are severely obsolete now. The designs would need to be completely different to compete in today's market. If the designs left original, what would the resale value be for a $30,000 a "New M", a $100,000 "New 715" or a $100,000 "New 856"? Would a five year old "New M" with 1,500 hours resell for $15,000 to $25,000 or closer to the $1,000 to $1,500 market for an old M? Would a five year old "New 715" with 1,000 hours resell for $50,000 or closer to $1,500?
Depreciation would be a killer for most potential buyers including collectors. Production volumes would be very low, it would be difficult to recover the $10,000,000 to $50,000,000 tooling costs. Kind of like the attempt to bring back the "Indian" motorcycles.
