I have a friend that is liquidating his deceased FIL's tractor repair shop. I discussed maybe buying out any/all AC inventory. I don't think there will be a huge inventory, he was not a dedicated brand shop, he worked on everything. Don't know, yet, what is there. First, is there anything someone might be looking for?

Not having a shop or business of my own, would this be worth my time and effort buying and trying to resell this stuff?

More depends on just what kind of stuff is there. Some of those parts never break or wear out in some assemblies. Where the rest needed to be new, it could be real slow movers.

Don't know what special tools there might be with AC wheel tractors, but those could be the real gold if he had any.

agree with Ray, but...alot of the stuff (any brand) if old but new, could move for the ones restoring old tractors, they want shiny parts even tho the old parts are still good yet. and those specialty tools even if home made are great sellers.
