1949 ( I believe) pin hitch, tires junk, all rims look to be good, sheet metal is poor, gleaner (gray) motor, block is cracked, narrow front, been sitting for years. I couldn't get to close as wasps coming from under the front grill were gettting mad. Two tractors came as a package, I hauled one home and told him I don't know if the 2nd one is worth the tank of gas to come back for. He understood and is leaving it up to me. Mind you I have plenty of irons in the fire now. Rims and the motor inerds might be the only thing worth salvaging that has any value. What do you think?

It has scrap value. You always try to restore 'em, but you are describing a lost cause. |

Are you talking pickup truck tank of gas or semi truck tank? Heck yea I'd burn up 20 gallons of fuel and a can of wasp spray to pick it up!

| Every allis saved from the... Melting pot, and allowed to rust out it's life peacefully is a happy allis. Even if this WD is never able to walk another step on it's own or donate it's organs to help another brother survive, it will be the happiest and most thankful tractor in the world. |

| If they're spinout rims, the two of them has to be worth $300 if they're good. |
