You must have had an absolute great day after you got that phone call!

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

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.

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.

Mike, what kind of mechanical condition is the tractor in ?  Motor turn over ?  tires ?

I'm still waiting on my phone call for a $75 B...LOL

A little update. Dad called a friend of his with roll back and it was dropped off this afternoon. 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

here's your pictures Mike -

Thanks again joe. Pictures didn't come out that good, was getting dark out.
Ken yes that's ours. It's a ford army jeep

Those rear weights are probably worth TWICE what you paid for the tractor !

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

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.
