I have 2 older garden tractors that are taking up space and wondering if they have any value. 1 is a 1974 AC 410 bought new by my grandfather. The other is a 1966 Case 120 that my other grandfather bought from a school in the early 70s. Both have decks both worked fine when parked. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

According to Tractor Data, both look like pretty hefty machines....Both powered by 10 hp Kohlers, which are pretty bullet proof.

I'm not really sure what those fine tractors are "worth", but I do suspect that it's like anything else. They're worth a lot if you were looking for one, but hard to even give away if you already own them.

Would help to know a general location also.

My guess is both are ruggedly built "good brand names" and worth more than a typical riding mower of similar vintage..the Kohler cast iron engines are tough,so are the rest of the machines..A/C and Case didn't make wimpy equipment back in those days..

But anything old has disadvantages too,like lack of parts availability (which in a way may increase the value ,if someone is looking for a parts machine),and the fact they may have been "whipped" or neglected long enough to put them in poor condition..
Hard to put a dollar value on them,like anything else,they are worth what someone is willing to pay for them,depending on if they just want them to fool with--or are in desparate need of parts for another tractor..

I can't speak much to value, but judging by the pictures, that AC is in awesome condition, and looking at the greeninsh fresh looking grass on the deck, it hasn't been put away long. Given that, and the fact your grandfather bought it new, I'd keep it if I were you.

The Case, however, I'd be more apt to sell that one. Yeah, it has some history, but not as personal IMO. Doesn't look is as good of condition, either, but pictures can be deceptive. If it runs I've got to think it should fetch at least $400-$500 to the right person assuming it works pretty much as it should, just to throw out a dollar amount. There's collectors out there.

They're both tough old tractors for sure.
