Hope you get as lucky as my kid. He found a 56 Chevy HT and got it for a grand. Same place had 2 ACs behind the barn. A B and a C for parts. Got them both for $100 bill. I helped him haul his treasures home. He got both the Chevy and the B running while still on the trailers and was able to drive them off. Chevy is now ready to go to "CRUSIN the COAST". The B is under the shed now and has not been run in over a year. When I think about it I turn the crank to keep it loose. It's a 50 model with cultivators. The C is waiting for scrap prices to go up. |

Don't scrap the C, there is only so many allis parts tractors on the face of this earth |

| My theory on scrapping is supply and demand is what tractor prices are all about. With so many NF Cs around a nice one sure aint worth what the cost to restore one will bring. The fewer the better. |

 Then you end up with the steam engine situation. Not a whole whole lot of really nice ones around (Certainly not thousands, like the gas engine tractors), and when you buy one they're $20,000+.

Just keep them hidden in your secret place, then when prices for tractors do go up, your sitting on gold, and no allis is wasted. Remember that there where only so many allis made, and in 100 years that number could be substantially less. |

That's my point, exactly. There will never be any more than there were when the last one rolled off the line.

You sound like my buddy who owns a big scrap yard. That's his saying about chopping up old equipment and sending off to the smelters. "I'm just making the ones that are still around more valuable. "

Ken, with scrap at $75-100 ton you wont get much... Break the tractor apart into finals / transmission/ motor and sell each for $100. You win, and you keep the parts in circulation. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Looking forward to seeing your SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR B. Cannot believe you can get a B tractor for $ 75. As Ken says in a the parts are well worth that if nothing else. Take good care of my favorite. Good Luck! Bill Long |

| I haven't seen it yet but in a picture and it wasn't a good picture. It's a hedge row tractor, with a none adjustable front axle, that's all I could see |

I'm still waiting on my phone call for a $75 B...LOL closest I got was $300 and it was stuck!

| even adjustable front axles found in fence rows are non adjustable. It may be a 37 B. Wouldn't that be something else |

Steve you asked about tires lol well they must have been loaded because there is no rims left, there was wheel weights there too, the fronts are also rusted pritty bad, the hood is cut. Looks like for a alt. I will take pictures tomarow. Is the sr number next to shifter. I will get thet also |

| That is a great story. A good story makes a project tractor all the better. I am with the group saying don't scrap them. It is hard to find d serries tractors around here. The price still isn't good so it just makes it harder for those of us who love them. |

It's a shame to have your Jeep sitting out in the weather like that. My son is restoring a 42 FORD GPW. It was his DadILs hunting Jeep. Garage kept so it's pretty solid. I don't guess yours is FOR SALE? |

| Lol I just said the rear wheels were gone and fronts were thin and got bent when loaded an unloaded. And hood was cut. Well I don't see us doing anything with it so if anybody is interested let me know. I saved it from scrap lol |

| Yea I know it's a sham to sit out. Dad used it to go out in woods to get fire wood and then it just got left behind the garage. Then he brought it here few years ago. I can ask him if its for sale |

| You know Mike I've looked for a '56 hardtop for the last 35 yrs. and haven't found a one. Found a 4 door hardtop for 400 one time in Kansas. Title was sorta screwed up but still should have bought it. Now I'm to danged old to restore one so guess I'll just look at pics. Old age is a female hound dog. |
