I don’t know much about tractors so I was hoping to find some people who know more that can help me. My dad passed away really suddenly and I sadly need to sell his tractor and the parts. I have no idea how to work it or fix it or price these things, I was happy enough that I figured out the steps to get it started. I just need a little direction because there aren’t a lot of these age/model for sale; I can’t find enough info to do this justice. The prices are all over, end up being different machines, and I’m having trouble finding a cost for the right accessories also, attached or not attached.
So it’s a Kubota B7100 hydrostatic 4wd. Purchased shiny new in 1993 and my dad babied the snot out of it. Garage kept its whole life other than the last year (it was in a barn shed). He not only kept up with all maintenance but probably definitely overdid it. He worked on it every weekend. we used to help him wax it regularly, he was always getting and changing parts and reading about it. As kids we weren’t even allowed on the same side of the garage with it (lol!), it was that precious to him. So, like think of the best maintained tractor and then upgrade an intense anal ocd person whose favorite item in life was the tractor. It did have to be parked in a barn for a year, which is where any of the dust in the grease came from, I started wiping the dust off so the condition of the tractor itself was more readily visible, but I haven’t gotten to all of it yet.
It has the front end loader attached, and probably will sell attached. That was bought the same year. Also have the 60in belly mower bought same year not attached to tractor so could sell separately. I have extra blades (I think sharpened already), so at least two sets, and boxes and boxes of various filters, oils, fluids, parts, all brand new in plastic. It has a three point hitch and has connected to a grader blade and a brush mower and trailer, and all worked great. I don’t think I have those items.
It moved snow off our little driveway and mowed 1 acre back yard for many many years, has never seen hard labor. 652 hours on the gauge. There is some paint worn off the front end bucket. No real rust even there or anywhere that I can find.
I also have all the manuals. It runs great. Sounds like it always has. It mostly sat for a year so probably may need some of the filters/fluids. But all repairs and maintenance were up to date when he passed so I doubt it needs a lot.
How do I price this? How do I sell it so my mom gets a fair amount for all the time and money they put into it? I have tons of photos so can share more.
I hope someone has some wisdom for me. Thank you so much!

Still need to clean this up more.
