It is an old, steel wheeled, grain drill- so it could be used to seed oats, barley, wheat, rye, etc. What we call "small grain". Technically, a grain drill can be used to plant corn, but for many reasons, it is not used for that purpose. Corn does well only when planted at a very uniform depth. Grain drills do not do that. That is why farmers use two different machines for those crops. By looking at it, I would guess it is very narrow, maybe 8 feet wide? If it is complete, it could be used to seed grain. Your idea of yard art is very good- many people would appreciate seeing that. To ID- look for any markings on it, especially on the metal parts for casting numbers/letters, JD, IHC, Moline, Oliver Superior, etc. Many times the ID is on the "end plates" of the grain box- collectors buy them and sell them to theme restaurants, etc. Regarding price- for a parttime or fulltime farmer, the price is squat!- considering how many other options he has to buy a machine that he can use. Your market is yard art. I sold a couple of working Moline drills, circa 1955, for about $250. Half as old, rubber tires, grass seeders, etc. Advertise yours for a few hundred bucks- can always come down.
