is it the one in minnesota the dont have pics in the ad if so he said he wants 1800 for it

Looks like another one in front of it. In the long term storage truck body.
So he might know what it is worth and is now fishing for a buyer at a high price.
Or maybe he needs some quick cash to feed his pulling hobby.

If that's the case and it runs good, moves good, and everything works like he says, he's probably pretty close on price. It all depends on what one wants to spend. More of a $1500 tractor without a three point. With a three point, it would be $2000+. The 782D's tend to command more than an 882 or 1512. Atleast, that's what I see most of the time. If this is the same tractor, he knows what he has, and is hoping someone comes along and offers big money. I hate sellers like that. :bash2:

I'm with Josh. Looks like its in pretty good shape and still has the "Diesel Throttle Off" & "IH" badges on it and the tins look good. I would plan on the driveline being shot and needing $100 to $300 to replace to make 100%. If I got that for $1k I would be a happy camper. How bad do you want it is the question?

ya its the one in Minnesota... haha now my hopes on it have fell a bit cause from what u guys have told me now it seems like he knows what he has.. ill try my best to see if i can drop him down more on the price... he told me that the fitting to the hose on the injector pump is leaking a bit so idk what that means or what its gonna take to replace or fix that fitting!!! thanks so much guys keep the feed back coming i will really need it a lot!! thanks again

At some point, you just have to have the pricing conversation. Else a lot of back and forth and time and energy is wasted.

I tend to prefer that owners price their own equipment. If they refuse its because they want to play 'games' back and forth on negotiation. Im not one to enjoy the game, so when that happens I just state what my price is that I would be willing to pay, and explain it (other references of similar machines at those prices).

If the seller takes this as low balling then, they are just wanting more than its worth and I can walk away knowing there are others out there.

imo, a 782D that runs will go for more than $1000. I could be wrong of course (and often am).

I looked at one in central MN about a year and a half ago. The guy was a puller. I would bet its the same one.

When I looked at it the outside was in fair shape but inside it was kind of crusty and rusty. while I was driving it the throttle cable came loose. Basically it had been sitting for a long time with no attention. On the plus side it did start, run and drive. If you want something to strip down and redo it might be a good option but if you want to put it to work right away it seemed like a "one thing after the other" rig.

I think he was at $1800 when I had looked at it if I remember right.

Well the guy hasn't responded to me in a while (2 days) so I've decided that I'll try to look for another one in better engine shape( cables, hoses, INJECTOR PUMPS!)and see where that goes thanks everyone for all the help and ur opinions I love how we all worked together. It was great!
If i find another one I'll let u guys know about it!!! Thanks soooo much guys I can't express how much I appreciated all this!!
