Hi Sandy
I really need one of those. It's the only big thing that's missing on mine, but the opening bid is more than I paid for the whole tractor. I can't even imagine how much it would cost to ship something that heavy to the US. I guess that I should try harder to find the Super 6 that's rumored to be on a ranch not far from where I live.

JC, if you paid less than that for your Super 6 you should be making sure you buy this at any cost...!!! Anything can be shipped if you are keen enough.

In my opinion, yes. Good super 6's are £15/£20K tractors , the front weight is unique to them , i will try very hard to buy this if no-one else on here wants it.

Tell you what JC, sell me the tractor for what you paid for it plus a commission of 25%.
I will arrange and pay for shipping over here, buy that front weight, fit it and still think I have a cheap tractor to add to my collection.
A Super Six would be my dream tractor, they bring back so many memories for me.

Brian and Sandy
I knew that Super 6’s were valuable in the UK but I never knew exactly what one was worth. I didn’t buy mine as an investment, I bought it to restore and drive in parades and tractor shows, and maybe pull a plough occasionally . There are very few of them over here and not many people even know what a Super 6 is, so there’s really no market for them to set a value.

That would be a pretty good deal, a 25% profit without doing any work. But I think I'll keep her. Sorry Brian
Since my wife is the assistant financial director of this house, I don't think that I can convince her that I need to spend $2200 on one tractor part. If I change my (her) mind, I'll e-mail you, Sandy, so we aren't bidding against each other.
