Model 72
 
I found a model 72 with the 3 pt hitch on it. It also has ag tires but no fenders and with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear. As you can see from my tractor list I have nothing this old so it looks pretty sparse to me.
I was just wondering about the price range for such a machine.
Any info would be appreciated. I was thinking it would make a good one bottom plow tractor. What if I could get it for $300-$325?

The ad says it runs well and he's asking $425.

I would say you found a decent tractor. But, :TTWWP:

I will say this much, like I always do, it's worth whatever you think it is. But, if it runs, has ag tires, and has a rear lift, take in account to what you have:

-A running, driving tractor should bring $250 at minimum.

-Ag tires are worth $50 at min.

-A rear lift is worth $75 min.

It will pull an 8-10 inch plow depending on conditions. If it were me, and I really wanted it, I'd go $350 because you know you can at least get that out of it. But, you never know, feel the guy out and see what he says.

Thanks for your response. I agree with your thoughts. I was originally looking for a wide frame hitch outfit but found all those on Ebay were going for over $200 just for the 3pt and another $100-$150 for the sleeve part. I didn't want to spend that type of money for just a hitch.
When I spotted this 72 with the 3 point already on it I had to check it out. I went tonight to check it out and the 7 hp engine runs like a top with no smoke. The seller provide the sleeve hitch from the 3 he had on a shelf after I told him I was looking for a plow tractor. I manage to score the entire deal for $350 from a very helpful seller. As he said, 'it may not look showroom but all my stuff works and works well'. It's the oldest Cub I have now and one of the coolest to drive. It's the only gear drive Cub I have. I think I'm really going to like the simplistic setup this little tractor offers. I'll try to figure out how to get a picture posted.
