I'd be all over all of it, implements is where its at. It is truly shameful, I know some plows are obsolete, can't get shares or what have you but even then, small implements are in demand.
You can't get the same quality or design, things offered by TSC, don't come close, or by short line manufacturing you see available today.
I looked for years for a cultipacker, never thought I'd find one, just happened to spot a deal last fall and got a 7' McCormick Deering double roller for $150, needing a little work and a few wheels. These are as useful today as they were then, to scrap it out, heck and perish the thought, but at least someone could have got the darned wheels off it or salvage parts.
Sweets in KY seems to specialize in rebuilding or fixing old cultipackers and they list for 1000 bucks or better and you still have to pay shipping, but they are still better made than most you see unless its a Brillion, price one of those new, add seed boxes and capability, to see those go to scrap, when there is someone who would gladly purchase it, and I know its theres to do with what they want, but people have lost sight of in demand and very useful, functioning implements.
Good on you, it is satisfying to get some of this, there is no doubt that some of these items could be sold, saving them from destruction and putting them in the hands of someone that can use them, implements are profitable, every one I own I could sell at a fair price right now and make money off each one, some double, and not be unfair, sucks to learn they are so disregarded and relegated to scrap iron, thats entirely sad.
I just picked up a MF - model 25 disc, needs some work, but I enjoy implements to no end, really like fixing and repairing them, if there was a scrap yard nearby taking them in that would sell to you because they have a conscience, I'd be wildly addicted !!!!
