I would take it on just for the satisfaction of putting it back together and getting it running. I am an accountant but it doesn't mean I apply accounting principles to every aspect of my life. I know guys who spend $100+ for a day of golf with nothing to show for it at the end of the day. I prefer to restore tractors.
If you want to take a harder line then, no...it is probably not worth it. Anyone who thinks that is a parts tractor has never been to a place where they part out tractors. That is a scrap tractor and maybe a few parts have value but not top value. Parts tractors I have seen are "like-new" tractors that the guy has gotten on the cheap from an estate or auction. Collectors want parts that are in top shape and a lot of really nice tractors are chopped for this reason. Offer him scrap value for it and tell him what you will do, how much it will cost you, and how nice it will be to have a clean spot in the shed.
