Default 1926 jd

A friend is looking at this 1926 JD.



(We've got more photos.)

I don't know the first thing about these. I'm looking for someone who can look at the photos and give a basic evaluation as to originality and hopefully provide some estimates on value.

TIA.

what i see - the front fender looks teens to me and its missing the side skirt on the left side of the fender

the horn is missing it sits under the headlight atop the tool holder

the ignition coil is a 60s car type - the original coil sits atop bolted to the generator and its impossible to find

cant tell but it looks as if the battery box is gone - well they all are as acid ate them years ago but replacements are available

the shift gate that sits under the fuel / oil caps L/S looks gone as well
