Is it worth buying to part out?? Ford 641, pwr ste

The loader, if complete is probably worth most of the $700. I bet there is someone out there who would think they could fix a backhoe attachment. The hi-low trans is a very desirable option, and would sell easily, with a value dependant on what it is and the shape it is in. The power steering is worth at least $500. There are all sorts of other things you could sell and maybe make some money with, and also help out guys who are looking for that specific part.

Or you could fix the engine and have a neat tractor with a lot of neat options for not too much money.

Do you have the room to store it? And the time to dismantle or fix it? Or would it just sit there, taking up space that you would like to use for something else? All questions you alone can answer. It sounds like a real good deal to me. Good luck, hope I find something like that sometime!

Headache-wise and spousal relations-wise, I don't know if you'll come out ahead or not.

I paid $500 for a 9N in pieces last October and caught some spousal abuse when I spent every night for a week out pulling parts until midnight. But I wanted all the sellable parts off before it snowed. Now that I have made back my $500 plus another $1600 by selling parts on ebay, she's much friendlier.
