No problem on typo, I just had to check. Several months ago I had a rented trailer that I used to bring a 3000 rear end home so I could get the differential lock out of it. When I went to take the trailer back I figured I could haul a cut up old car to the scrap yard at the same time. When I got there he would not even take it for FREE! Said that the metal had to be clean, no rubber, etc. and even CI needed to be "clean" to get the top price. Luckily there was a car junk yard that would take it so I didn't have to drive to the land fill some 25mi. away. With CI at $.02/# a whole N (@2400#) would be worth $48.00 IF it were all CI!!! The castings are worth MUCH more than that!! That makes junking any N almost a crime! :-) Pitch should offer the man the $100 and tell him that is twice the junk value. (my $.02)
Hope he does get, it least that will save most of an N. It might even be worth fixing it back up if there are enough good parts in what is there. Remember a good working N will bring around $3K in most areas. As to what is missing, engine heads are readily available for around $160. Sheet metal, even if it is that poor fitting foreign stuff can be had which would make at least a "working" tractor out of what is there. The tranny and rear end castings are a few of the things that cannot be easily obtained so having those makes a refurbishing it possible. Of course, I hate to throw anything away, so temper my comments with that knowledge. It's not in VA, is it? Hope not, I'd be tempted..... :-)
