I inherited this Older 245DT and will be selling it. It has a slight fuel leak from somewhere, needs a muffler, a seat, and a full service for fluids and filters. It only has 1042 hours and has mostly been used to maintain a driveway and scrape snow. It runs great.

What should I ask for this?

well - close if not 40 year old machine - seems to be in fair shape......

Loader a huge plus - and a blade

A SWAG would be low ball 7.5k ...... high side...perhaps 10.5K if you were to fix the small problems and clean the ol girl up...... $12.5 K It really is all about location and who is willing to pay

I appreciate the response. I'm going to degrease it, clean it up, and get the basic maintenance done. My wife is just insistent that I get a new machine with ROPS, and I'm not inclined to argue with her. As soon as my local dealer gets more 2501s in, I'll have one in my driveway.

Have the same tractor and following up on various posts on here, understood that Kubota will still supply ROPS for all their tractors at cost.
Long story short correspondence with Kubota customer service revealed you need to go to the dealer and have them order "wholegoods item SFL-F27" cost is ~$300 delivered.
These are made to order and take "several months" (mine has not been delivered yet!).
