982 w/50" mower, front hydro, 3pt, PTO, dual brakes
 

Hi Gents,
I am planning to sell my 982, as my mowing acreage just went up. Love the tractor, but I just don't have the time to spend on what is about to increase to 6+ acres. Trying to get to a fair price, one that someone on this forum would be willing to pay to keep and use this machine, rather than just CL it to someone.

The hour meter is dead, so I have no idea the hours. THe original Onan runs very well, but has developed an oil leak. I suspect the drain plug, but have not had time to properly diagnose. Steering and hydro drive controls have the typical slack. Front and rear PTOs operate properly, 3Pt and deck hydraulics work properly. Mower starts and runs great, and I currently mow about 4 acres weekly. Front tires are new, rears look original. It has all the tin, but the mounts are weak.

It has:
50" mower, works properly
Split/dual brakes
Front remote hydraulics
3pt hitch (OEM, I believe)
Rear PTO
Original Onan B48G 20hp twin
(No other attachments)

While I have owned it (going into 4th season), it has rec'd decent maintenance, and the previous owner did a good job, it seemed. Unknown maintenance prior.

I have replaced the entire shaft assembly between motor and hydro, and a few other odds/ends, but no major work.

Thoughts on price?

I'm sure others would say pics say a lot...

Here is what I got for my 1872 Super Garden Tractor with Rear 2000rpm PTO and 3pt lift.

Lift and Tilt Johnny Bucket Jr, V61 and Ag filled tires, Front Snow/Dirt blade, front weights and bracket, International 2000rpm 3pt tiller, 60" Haban Mower Deck..
$4300.00

But it also had Power Steering... and in VG condition....

Pics would help alot, if its mechanically sound and the paint is decent then you can expect to get between $1000 and $1500. You might get more if you list it on clist but be prepared to play the waiting game until the right buyer comes along.

In the middle of the country, something like that would fetch around 2500 plus or minus. 3pt n rear pto are the big selling points as you may know

Exactly what I would have said.

And still no pic??!

Yeah, sorry about no pics yet. Prepping for big annual charity event for this weekend. Will try to upload a few as time permits.

Thanks to all the commenters, so far.

This is my "daily driver", so no effort was made to clean the machine up for sale...here it is, warts and all:

I'm going to have to lower mine to 1500$
Not for its condition but it's color.
Sad to say but if it was IH built it would be worth more.
