A few parts might be salvaged, but restoring the tractor would be a huge effort, and a good many of the parts would have to be scrapped due to either cracks, or change to the metal structure properties (but I am no engineer). Some of the sheet metal might be salvageable if not warped, and gotten out of the weather to prevent massive rust damage. I know where I used to work we had a small heat treat furnace and it was used many times for stripping paint off sheet metal parts (unofficially). Basically burning off the paint, cooled slowly, then washed and repainted. Well ventilated of course. I know this fire was accidental, but I know if that was my barn I would be seeing an attorney holding supporting documentation of value of the barn and contents. I often burn off my fields, and am always reluctant as even though I have no neighbors close I always imagine what "could happen" if it were to get away from me or the wind pick up. The bad part is the lawyer will be the only one to really gain from it.
