I inherited this old A/c from my Grandfather. It ran when parked, but that has been close to likely 10 years ago.
I have a neighbor who stopped and asked if I was interested in selling it. He is interested in it for a restoration project. Frankly, it was something I have been wanting to do, but have no idea of when that might, if ever, happen. So, I was happy that someone wanted it for that purpose. I have had scrap dealers stop, I have also had people wanting to just buy it to part out also stop. Neither of these is acceptable to me.
The sheet metal is still quite straight and in good shape. It has quite a bit of paint, highly faded, but still on it's metal. I know that this will all be redone, but it has been what has kept it in better shape for being outside and in the elements.
The loader is a Kelley with one way hydraulics and trip bucket.
The tractor has a split range/torque converter, so it has a live PTO when using the hand clutch.
It has power steering.
The exhaust has been covered the whole time, so no water has been getting into the engine. I would have to take the plugs out and spray some ATF into the cylinders before trying to turn over by hand to determine whether the motor is frozen or not.
I am sure there are some of you who can tell me far more than I know about the tractor.
Please ask any questions that one would need to know to have the complete 'picture' for accurate pricing.
So, in its present condition, what's a fair price for the old girl?
Thanks for any and all help.
