Thank you everyone for the quick responses! I was thinking the same as many of you.........it's pretty far gone and it could be a real money pit. I don't know much about tractors but I do know that engine work and tires alone could make it expensive real quick. The water factor didn't help much either. I wish I would have had my camera with me but I didn't. I just hate to see it get scrapped. I respect this old stuff. I have a feeling the crusher is where it will end up if someone doesn't save it. I started looking on ebay and pricing some "c's". I see the advantage in buyng one in running shape needing paint versus this one in the junkyard I know nothing about. I'm gonna go talk to the guy next week and get a price. I was thinking it might be worth scrap money or maybe a bit more considering what it is. Just out of curiosity, how much could I end up having in just rubber alone? I have a hookup at a machine shop if the block itself isn't cracked(this is the real gamle). They can fix almost any head by the way. Specialize in crack repair. I've personally seen them work miracles. I see a complete engine kit here for $500 or so. I can handle the paint, body work, and engine assembly, & other mechanicals. Trying to figure up some kind of total moneywise. Not alot to spend on this end. I feel like this tractor is sucking me in. I just hated to see it in the scrapyard. Can you feel me?
