Need help figuring out how much to ask for our 1966 B10 Big Ten tractor. Runs like the champ it is. Hydraulics are shot. The choke cable is broken so we have to use our finger to move the choke, otherwise in great shape for its age. I can post pics. Also we have the blade, tiller, and the snowblower. Any help would be appreciated. We do live way up in northern lower Michigan so not many local buyers. Thanks!

1) 1966 would be B10-period. Big Ten was 1965 only. The B10 and Big Ten designations were not used together at the same time so it has to be 1 or the other. 2) If it were mine, I would consider each piece individually and then add that all together for a starting(asking) price but being open to some negotiation at the same time. a) a decent looking running tractor by itself would be worth a few hundred $ in my book-bad hydraulics will hurt that since they will need to be fixed or converted to manual lift-choke cable easy fix so not a big issue b) attachments in working order worth a couple hundred each Put your 4 pieces together and $800-$1000 would be a good starting point and go from there. b) ------------- "My name is Lionel and I'm an Allisoholic" |

| Thank you, you have given us great advice. And yes, now we know it’s a 1965 Big Ten. My step dad purchased it in 1966...that’s why I was confused. Thanks again! |
