Box Scraper Any reason I shouldn't just scrap it?

[RDrancher]

I've paid more than scrap prices for rusty yard art & been blown out of the water by others much more motivated. The nice thing about rusty yard art is nobody expects it to work or be in great shape. Specific models aren't terribly relevant either.

Post it on Craigslist & see what you can get. Better chances if you note you can load it. Better market & prices if you can deliver it as lots who think its cool don't have the gear to do it themselves.

I agree...though I'd keep it for my own yard art. My mailbox stand is an old 2-bottom plow.

Holy cow, maybe I ought to consider seriously how much I should list this thing for!

That disc on ebay makes me feel real good... Got one setting here for my Super C's.

A lot of guy's might consider it not worth the price of new disc blades, but us ole' savvy guy's have been known to scarf up used one's off of a larger disc. Worn out, for what it was on, but wore down enough that they are perfect for a smaller disc like this. Axle size is the main concern, but I've also filled the holes with weld in the disc blades, to a size that fit mine. A good winter time project in the shop.

Rusty yard goes for a couple hundred bucks if its cool looking. I paid under $50 for my 3point single gang 5-6' at an auction. Some other rusty yard art that was easier to load & transport went higher.

I see old dump rakes & planters going for higher triple digits. Horse drawn plows for a couple hundred.

Wow! Of course, it hasn't sold yet so who knows if the seller is out of his mind or not.

Sold it in an hour on Craig's List. The suggestion about mentioning "being able to load it" helped to seal the deal. I'm getting a couple bucks and the buyer is getting an increasingly hard to find implement for his old tractor. I'm really glad I didn't just go ahead and scrap it before starting this thread.

Thanks again for all the good suggestions and advice.

Now having read this thread I am wondering what I can get for my drag plow (2 bottom), drag disks and cultivators.

Very cool. I'm glad it worked out. I love a happy ending.

My Dad had a Farmall 200 with the fast hitch on it. He had the 2-bottom plow, disc, and 7' sickle bar mower implements for it. The really neat thing about the fast hitch system was that you could generate downforce on the implement. That disc could be pushed into the ground enough to make the rear tires break free! Of course, you didn't get much ground worked up that way. Good memories ...
