I'm not sure. Traded my very best deck, a 48" 990886 That I found 4 years ago as near to NOS as you can get, and have kept it perfect
I got a complete nice/tight 3415H with a 36" roto tiller and $75 cash for it. Had to truck 14 miles one way.
Tractor has sheetmetal cut off around battery, no idea why but is useable as-is. It needs a battery and at least one front tire. Tiller needs a belt. Thats it.

Sounds like a good trade to me...I thought for a minute you were going to tell us you traded for the Farmall in the first picture.
My reply was going to be "you got took". Tiller is worth the trade! |

Yup, that deck was almost like new. And the 886 deck was the last top of the line before they started cutting corners in the late 70's. I said I really wouldn't want to sell it for $500.
It had lifetimes still in it, and its pretty unlikely I'll ever come across another.
Really, that deck was in as good a shape and had more life than a brand new $1,500 four foot deck for a Legacy or Conquest. |

This is how my thought process would have gone if I was really unsure about the value of a trade.
You mentioned that was the nicest deck you had and you wouldn't sell it for $500. Could you get $500+ for the tractor and tiller?
Would you have used the deck?
Will you use the new tractor and tiller? Will they do anything your other tractors won't? |

Larry,
I thought you traded the deck for the Farmall, that would have been a good deal. To trade for a cut up 3415H, I dunno?
You asked for opinions good or bad!

And Thankyou!!! 
I did get a complete 36" roto-tiller and $75 cash as well. And the battery box is all thats cut so it can now take a larger battery.
I think it eas a fair deal but not a great deal. Have to wait and see what the tractor needs... |
