 Topic: Value of very rough non running 220 FWA
Posted: 03 Jan 2013 at 9:41pm |
This old 220 fwa has been sitting on a washington farm for many years. It is very very rough and would need a donor 2 wd tractor to bring it back to life. It looks like they are somewhat rare. I want to make the guy a offer to buy it but not sure what its worth. Any advice is appriciated.

Rare? You bet it is. You have a diamond in the rough sittin there.....have no clue on value.
Look at the front weights on that thing!!! Wow!

It is very sandy soil out here so we have to hang a bunch of weights on tractors. The front and rear tires have fluid in them also.

I looked for the serial number on bell housing but could not locate the tag. It has been heavily vandalized over the years. My son thinks he would like to buy it and restore it for the National Delo FFA tractor restoration contest.

I think there was only 100 FWA versions built right?
Would be a very nice FFA tractor

Rare? Very. Look for dpower, he has a couple of these, and might have some idea of what they're worth. He posts on here often, just search in the search bar and send him a pm. Chances are he may see this thread and post anyhow.
You should definitely try to get it; it's a diamond even in the shape it's in now. Would love to own it! Good luck.

I will put it this way.....
To me.....that would be almost as good OR as good as finding a 6-12 tractor that had been tucked away in an old barn for years.
That kind of tractor does not show up every day, week, month, or even years.

Offer $5,000, you never know. It doesn't seem like the owner puts much value on it, considering it's condition.

He used it years ago and the year he made a bunch of money with potatoes one year and he went out and bought new case tractors. The tractor never got used after that. That is the old Allis potato digger in the back graound of the first pic. Over the years the sand has blown up around it and people have vandalized it because not many people are out around where it is parked. He brought the tractor with him when he moved into the area from Southern Oregon.

If he doesn't know how rare it is, you may get a heck of a deal!

i am sure he does not know it is that rare. i think it means more to him because he has kept it around since that is the tractor he started with way back in the mid 70's. it might be hard to get it bought from him because of that. i guess all he can say is not for sale right?

Exactly right. But explain to him what you want to do with the machine; that you want to restore it, bring it back to showroom condition. If he truly cares about the tractor and its future, he should consider selling it to someone who's going to appreciate it and take care of it. Obviously he doesn't think enough of it to keep it safe, or sheltered; and doesn't intend to fix it.
An AC enthusiast definitely deserves to own it. If you think you want this tractor, I wouldn't let ANYONE know who the owner is or where the tractor is; a competing buyer could be your worst enemy. Likewise though, if you decide you don't want the tractor, it'd be a shame not to let someone who could save this tractor not know of its whereabouts.
I say go for it, try your best to save it. It would be a jewel in your collection and bring a deserving tractor back to the condition that it should be in. A tractor this rare doesn't need to be sitting around rusting and being vandalized; not when we all know how special it is.
Hope to hear soon that you've bought it and are restoring it. Keep us posted, PLEASE!
-Andrew

thank you so much for the info. i will sure post if my son can get it purchased. i have had quite a few people email me tonight wanting to buy the tractor. if my son decides not to buy it and if the owner will consider selling it then i will offer it to the people that have been emailing me on it. i am trying to talk to my son into doing a 3020 powershift front wheel assist instead of the 220. he says he thinks the 220 would be a nicer tractor when restored.

I can hear the trucks starting now and racing to the northwest to scour the country side looking for that gem!! I hope you or someone gets it and brings it back to life!

Whats weird is i had a guy named mike send me pictures of this same tractor with the potatoe digger story like 4 years ago. Supposedly it had been sitting there since 1974?? He told me that the owner never will put a price on it. This mike guy worked for a heavy equipment company and i am not sure how he got my email. There was one up in west that was missing the front gears brought like 14,000 a few years ago. I am sure the price has gone up since then. In 2006 i paid 19,500 for mine which is in very good shape with a 3 point. Would be great if you could buy it and save it. Poor old thing could use some TLC.

Let the boy do the AC. It's a super rare tractor, and unique. How many JD's are you going to see as compared to Orange ones? It'd be such a great project, and bring a TRULY rare tractor back to life.
You're probably not ever going to have another opportunity to buy one of these; get it if you can.
Take care, brother!

LOL thanks even though i am not sure what they are worth. Wilke tractors had one listed for 45,000 on their website with the wrong engine in it and its no longer for sale on their website. I believe they will only go up in price and to think my brother told me not to get mine LOL

Holy Cow DPower - How many of us will you extend that invitation to? I bet there are a lot of us that have one or two AC tractors that would be lining up for that!
