That sure sounds like a basket case the way you describe it. Cheapest way to get most of those parts might be to buy another tractor with say a blown or stuck engine or bad transmission. I think your final decision to rebuild or not is going to depend on the general condition of parts that have not been damaged and also your desire or ability to repair it as opposed to getting another complete and functional machine. Many of the damaged pieces are major pieces requiring a great deal of labor to replace. Is this a restored tractor? I think you could be right on the edge where it may pay off better to buy a complete machine, swap the best of your original tractors parts on to that and then sell what's left over. The scrub that caused this will probably not have a plug nickel to his name.
