Like the serial number plate shows, it's a 4T6826, 1945 year build.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Kurt.
Thanks for posting the photos. ROME K/G is right - the serial # is 4T6826, not the 3F that the tank museum seems to think.
Interesting cable unit on the back - looks more like a winch than a cable control unit and there are no signs of a hard nose of lift sheave mounts on the front, maybe never had a blade.
Just my 0.02.

My guess by the trunnions is maybe a Letoureau blade or a copy with the over head cable. I guess if the winch brand was know that could give a clue as what brand the blade might have been. That left side sprocket is about as far used as you can get. So no blade, poor to very poor undercarriage, and it does not run??? From this side of the screen not much. From a historic prospective, a lot more. So anywhere from scrap to $10,000 could be argued.
"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
the only honest answer. what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller receive.
but a machine that doesnt run has worn out track gear is really worth a little more than its weight in scrap. what changes that is there wasnt many made and its fairly complete.
id say about 2 grand over scrap price.
Rome, I stuck the photos on pretty quickly, and you can see the 4T on the plate, I am not sure where they are getting 3F, winch maybe?
I'll give them a range of $1,500-$4,000 with the comment that they may want to add some value depending on how their board feels about the relative rarity of the machine.
Have any of you guys seen another tractor with that ACF logo on it?
3F1636 is just the part number of the ID plate.
If I had to guess on the winch I'd say early Carco (Canada Car and Foundry) lineage.
But I don't have a model number or literature.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
