Was that a full cab at one time and just cut the front of the cab off to make it a canopy? Is it really loud? I like the looks and with lots of cheap hp. Leon B ------------- Uncle always said "Fill the back of the shovel and the front will take care of itself". |

I like your 7050 in black. I don't dislike the factory maroon color. But the black makes it look newer. You did a real nice job on it. Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

| Just wondering what someone would pay for a tractor like this ,had a few offers thanks for your input |

I would pay top dollar for it if corn was still 6.00 😋 ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

six dollar corn would sure heal a lot of my wounds, too. Not that corn is a big crop for me, but all other crop prices follow it. Sure have noticed farm equipment prices taking a hit lately. Good example, 8070's are still very effective daily users on a modern farm/ranch operation. The price they are bringing now is 5 to 10 grand less than 3 to 5 years ago. Darrel |

What you have into that would make it likely cost prohibitive. I would base your prices off a Summerix rebuild/ restore. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

| You could command top market value for that tractor looking like it does, but sadly that'll be nowhere near the cost you have into it. When you go through them like that, they become your own for a very long time, unless someone hires you to do it. |

| The first offer I had was 25000 and said no ,so a customer was dropping a couple tractors off and ask me what it would take to buy it 30000 was brought up but from him .This a one off tractor built it me .But it makes me think should build some for resale ,but there is only a hand full of people that pay that kind of money .But I dont know if I would be making any money at that price ,all the tractors I have done were for me or a family member you know that is all free work. |

| Crazy question but how many hours do you figure you have in this project? |
Posted By: Tbone95
Date Posted: 16 Mar 2017 at 7:21am
| $25,000?! Wow, that's way over what I thought you'd get! Obviously, you don't "want" to sell it, $30,000????? Holy schniekies!!! |

| Well started keeping track of hours spent working on it I got to 150 hours and stopped writing down hours.Did not want to know how much I was spending so between 200 and 250 hours ,so at my shop rate of 60 dollars an hour 200 hours is 12000 had 7000 in the sandblasting and painting .Not counting all other parts about 750 in the seat 400 in 4 lights .head work ,injectors,pump ,radiator repairs ,rear tires,radio ,floor mat,so I dont know . Said when I started I was going to spend 10000 went way over that,but is so that is where I am at, it is a very nice tractor but not perfect it will be used on this farm for jobs where it wont get around any trees thanks for your input and god bless. |
