I have been asked to make an offer on this one... Ran when parked, needs rims but he has 2 rims off a gleaner he'll sell me.
I don't know enough about these tractors to make an informed offer... I was thinking around $500...
He did say he'd make me a heck of a deal if I buy the Gleaner too! lol
What do you guys think?

Around here you can buy a running and driving WC for $500. I don't think that Gleaner wheels will fit on a WC. ------------- Unless your are the lead horse the scenery never changes!! |

| WC s were a good old tractor. The tin looks good and it should have the square rear end.If you can get it 500 or under you won 't be hurt |

If it needs rims and tires, it will cost more than what a WC will sell for just for the tires. Ran when parked doesn't mean much if it has been parked out back for 30 years. If the engine is free you might be able to revive it but that to could lead to $$$$ invested.

He says it was recently moved to this location at a friends farm, and it ran when he put it on the trailer... It is not far from my place in Kansas but I know they have been drenched with rain lately. I kinda have the bug for this one, but I haven't seen it in person yet... That could change my mind, as I know there are others out there...
Still thinking about it... ------------- Miles Gray (CO/KS) 5 1938 B's, 1940 B, 1944 WF C, 1948 NF C, Gleaner A, White Top Rotobaler, 1957 IH Golden Jubilee... I'm either a collector, or crazy! |

$500. should let you pick and choose. I offered 300. for my 41 to a neighbor widow 5 minutes before it was going to be loaded for scrap. It had sat for 29 years. With the parts on it and scrap value at the time, I had to make a couple dollars, plus help her out. I don't see 500, at least not running . ------------- 1941 WC sat for 29 years,started & dynoed 27 h.p. 1957 WD45 Grandpa bought new,factory p.s.,added wfe 1951 WD, factory p.s. 1960 D14 HnMk IV BkHoe 4 sale 2014 HD Tri Glide 2009 GMC CC SLT Dually |

Based on this one pic, I'd say 200$ max, unless you hear it run. "ran when parked" means nothing, they ALL ran when parked. WC's are everywhere, and with bad rims, you are looking at some $ just to get it rolling. Unless you're looking for a project, I'd pass. 500$ is way to high in my opinion. Good luck! ------------- Jacob Swanson 1920 6-12; 1925,1926 20-35 longfenders; 1925,1926 15-25's; 1927,1929 20-35 shortfenders; C; B's; IB; WC's; WD; WD45 |

My 35WC was free. I will have 3 times the market value into it before it is done(not counting my labor). The only reason I'm doing it is it belong to my SIL's Grandpa and was his first tractor and one of the first in this area with rubber tires. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
