Don't know where you are at.... but I just sold my IH-986 {a/c was not working and the outside duals were really weather cracked}} for $8500, I only gave $8,000 for it in 1987 and have used it all this time to plant and till {another auctioneer told me that that tractor could have gone as high as $10,000}. The same guy offered $6,500 for my IH-1066 {pretty rough condition, but it is sound}. The guy that offered me those 2 prices {and then bought the 986} owns a very large farm equipment auction.
