This is my opinion only.
If you can hear it run and move and it appears solid it should be worth at least 2 or 3 hundred. ( that is a very low ball price) If it is extremely clean or has any accessories like a deck ( thats not rusted out) or a pto or tiller the price should go up some. The 120 was a cheaper version of the 140, but there were also fewer of them produced so it is a little more rare.
Your intended use should also be factored into how much you are willing to pay. By this I mean, If you are going to restore it back to factory new and keep it for show only, it might be worth paying a little more to find an easily restored very clean example. No rust pits or dents or cracked fiberglass.
If it is going to be used then maybe you dont need a pristine high dollar unit.
Hope this helps and I hope I don't get in trouble for trying to help

Max, no trouble...
The reason they say what they do about pricing posts is that it varies too much.
What might bring $200 in Texas may bring $800 in Washington.
Then there is the plethora of different scenarios that cause prices to change too...condition, options, etc, and all that coupled with a local market price difference means there is NO way any of us can accurately tell what the "going rate" for something is.
In reality, the "going rate" is whatever you are willing to pay for a tractor in its current state.
If you would like to get a VERY rough idea, see what they sell for on eBay, or Craigslist, or other equipment sale sites...then sort out the ones in your area, and you will have a rough guess as to what to expect.
Keep in mind though, just because your neighbor got a nice working 120 for $350 doesnt mean you can talk the guy down thats asking $800 for one in the same condition...because these are rare tractors, and its not like you can just go right down the street and find another one for sale.

I paid $350.00. It came with cast iron wheel weights (that I kept) .
Traded it for a perfect 49 snow thrower.

Craig,
Did you buy it? Tom Bouillon drove by it the other day and called me about it if it's the one at the yard sale in Mville. The price sounds about right but I'd offer a little less and go from there. I haven't been able to get up and look at it. So go for it if it's a good one!

I put a wanted ad on craigslist and came up with this running 120 for $250. I got a great deal on it. It came with a real good deck. The seat that came with it looked like John's seat. It also needed a seal in the rear axle. Before the economy went bad, the 120's often went for well over $1,000.

Yeah, The key to the whole thing is like the last post said, "Before the economy went bad". A value is best described in my mind as what someone is willing to pay you. The best judge of that is E-bay. I know that prices, at least in my area are way down from even a year ago. I wish the prices were up. Ive got about 3 tractors Id like to sell now. Thats my 2 cents. Good luck
