Hi ndbjda Don't forget he's got to buy and haul it home then part it out, the stuff nobody wants or can't sell is scrap. As of now thats more liability than money with poor prices. The tires look rough with weather damage from what i see, in the picture and from experience after driving them round for a while, so the money probably isn't there. The argument of what a head cost to re work is not really valid in my opinion. The guy paid $350 for his own head that if done right should be like new.
So many times I phoned wreckers looking for good used cranks and heads, so I didn't spend real mega $ on my worn ones. Truth was they wanted $500 for used parts no better than what I already owned in some cases. Plus re working cost on top so $850 plus some of them would of cost me. Unless what I had couldn't be repaired for $350 or what ever, I just wrote the check for mine . I could mostly find repairable oor good usable heads or cranks around cheaper on other complete tractors for a few more $ than the wreckers wanted for just a couple of parts.
I got a shed full of other fordson major parts like wheels linkage and other stuff doing that. It owes me nothing after using the initial parts. I will end up using the other real nice stuff restoring my other tractors in my collection one day, or helping guys looking for stuff. Wrecking tractors is not easy money. When prices were good, the best yard I deal with probably shipped out about $250.000 of scrap( parts or old tractors) that was no good or nobody wanted, from whats gone and what i can figure out he had from what he has let slip . Then spent the money re stocking with newer stuff!. regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
