A buddy told me about a tractor he had seen in a scrap yard (not salvage), so I went over to check it out. It was laying on it's side in the mud with some stuff on top of it, so all I could see was the bottom. It is a Regular or F series tractor and appears to be pretty complete. I asked the man what he wanted for it and he said 10 cents a pound, ouch.

Hi Jon,In 1998 I bought a farmall H out of the wreckers.The muffler was left off the water had got in #3 cylinder and busted the piston and sleeve and rusted out the oil pan and in time a tree grew up through the oil pan,#3 cylinder,and out through manifold and stuck out the hood like an umbrella.The owner said it had been there over 14 yrs.I was always told the guy wouldn't sell so for a long time I never ask about it.One day while getting a truck part I said I'd give $600. for it and he said sold.I took it home repaired the motor and have got a pile of work out of it.I later found out that since new the H was used at a grain mill to shunt wagons around.

bad to me. figure about 20cents a pound in restoration costs and you'll have a tractor you can sell for 12 cents a pound. Be fun while it lasted and probably very satisfying. Ain't all about the almighty buck, ya know!

sounds like the same tractor I've tried to buy 3-4 times and they don't really want to sell it; or someday they're gonna fix it up
