FERGUSON F-40

None the less, that one appears to be rough.

What sort of shape mechanically? Does it run OK? Is everything there? Steering tight? Lift work? Clutch good? Guages work?

The F-40 is worth a few bucks more than a Massey Harris of the same vintage, and even a few bucks more than a Massey FErguson 50, provided they're in equal condition. Production was less than 2 years. There aren't a lot of them. A mint (or well restored) F-40 is a very collectable tractor. But the one pictured needs a LOT of TLC. I'd say anything over $2500 would be excessive, and I'd balk at anything over $1750 for that one. BUT, I saw an F-40 High Arch sell at auction last spring. The High Arch generally brings less than the Standard like your picture. This one was rough in appearance, AND rough mechanically. It brought $3100. I was shocked.

For reference, I've seen a couple very well restored F-40's sell. Both brought over $5500. They were PERFECT though.

By the way, what is a high arch model? I know nothing about 40's.

Thanks for the info.

F-40 high arch or row crop are the same tractor but
with higher wheels rear are 38" instead of 28" for the utility model and the front axle spindles are higher than the utility tractor. The only mechanical difference is in the differential gear reduction
(different crown gear) to compensate for the wheels diameter.

Good luck !

Hi

Unless you absolutely want an F-40
tractor in that condition
I think $1400 shd be fair price

An MH-50 or MF-50 are very similar except for the
hood and grill. For $3400 you can have one in far better condition.
