UPDATE: It is now for sale for sure, so any who have inquired Please send me your offers if you are indeed serious about owning this tractor. In a perfect world I would like to trade it for a Low hour Agco DTB series, and actually hoping this ad might flush one of those out. This should give you an idea of the minimum I think it needs to be worth in order for me to let it go, so please only serious offers. I do not need to sell, and always said I never would sell it, but thinking another tractor that I would actually use might make my life easier and as I get older easier seems like a good plan lol. Also every year I don't get it restored just makes me think I never will and It really needs to be done someday. This tractor (and yes i will send pix to serious people) is in its original work clothes and is straight and complete. Motor was rebuilt after I bought it and cannot have more than a couple hundred hours on it. Stored inside for the last 25 or so years, started and run every year or two. Couple leaks, but nothing major by any means. The only problem that I know of is the weld on the clutch linkage where it goes into the torque housing broke a couple years ago and I haven't taken the time to weld it yet as I did not want it to look out of place and hadn't decided if I was going to hire someone to weld it or try doing it myself. Since it hardly leaves the shed I just left it for now. I am sure it will need new batteries and I would be putting them in before starting it to show any potential buyer. Haven't seen one sell for a couple years, so I guess we will see what their today value is. Post your interest here and a way to contact you and I will get back to you. or email me at weltonkb at gmail dot com Located in central iowa

| Yes good luck - and mean that genually, no sarcasum, I have a couple desired tractors to collectors , which I kind of am ., but dam they gotta work a little ! Just do not understand having a tractor just set there because its deemed worth $100,000 because of being rare; theres alot of money in the world now ; hope you get what your satisfied with, another question I have is , what will it be worth in 20 years ? As time goes by and the new ELECTRIC CRAZE is on - what happens to this stuff- Got a feeling CHINA will melt it all |

Very nice honest 220 fwd with a Laport cab. Mine had the same cab that had to be added at one point. Mexican hats are a nice addition. Good luck Kirk. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

Believe it or not that cab was never mounted on a tractor before this one. Local dealer had purchased it new and it sat out back on a pallet for years and a-holes eventually broke the windows out of it. I ended up with it and took the mounts that were intended for a 190 and made them work on this. The fenders are in the shed since it actually had a Egging sp. cab on it when I bought it and it slipped between the fenders. Pix have been sent to those wanting them and thanks to Steve (il) for posting them up on here as well. |

Taking a LaPorte cab off has to be done in stages. All the console control pivots are part of the cab base frame. My cab was a little rough and I like open station especially after being spoiled in a modern cab. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

I can't imagine calling my insurance company and saying I need to insure a 50 year old tractor for $100k but that's what you need to do. Isn't the public sale record for one of these $85,000? There are probably no young collectors for these so enjoy it while you can. ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, AC 4 row Planter, AC 77G Rake, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |

Agreed. At least dust it off and drive it in the 4th of July parade in your local town. Show off the brilliant purchase you or your relatives made! ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, AC 4 row Planter, AC 77G Rake, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |

Last one i know of in its work clothes was sold over two years ago and brought 95000. Corn price probably had a 3 in front of it for reference. No idea if a farmer bought it, but most likely was. |

As much I would hate to do it, if it was mine and I no longer used it, I would want it to go to someone to restore or be used as it was designed to do. Such a piece of history, needs to be seen by others to enjoy. So many folks would love to see it work including me. Ive never seen one in person.

The most sought after AC. At one time l would have gave my left nut for one. Turned one down for 35,000 at Summerix one day, have regretted it ever since. But l didn't have the money, so it was an easy decision. I have 2 low houred Agco DT B's. And l wouldn't trade one for it. I guess lm getting old 🤣 ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

hey ILgleaner, guess we are all getting older LOL, Talked to you years ago, and i think you are close to my age so stop calling us old. What are you doing hogging all those low hour Dtb’s? Looks like you should want to spread them around and with this deal you get to keep both nuts LOL |

I thought the same. It took a 220fwa to get him back out. Maybe he needs it more than he thinks :). Maybe he is waxing up one of those dtb’s getting ready to make me a offer after the new year lol. |

I don’t completely disagree with you, but not something I want to do just yet. Hoping to find a good home for it and get what I think it is worth without having to do the auction thing. Time will tell if I have to change my mind. Lots of interest, but no one with their checkbook out yet lol. |

| Do you have a price listed on Facebook Marketplace? If so can you list it here as some of us don't do facebook and are curious as to what you are asking for the tractor. Thanks. Don Jr. |
