I had a friend come by today, he told me that he is thinking of hauling off 5 or 6 old tractors to the local scrap yard here in central texas . I asked him to hang on to them for a little bit longer till I get with you guys to see if yall might be interrested in them. He said that they are F-12`s farmalls ranging from 1929-1935. I dont know that much abbout them, but he asked me to go ahead and post them and see what kind of responce I get on Y/T and if you are interested in one or all, just E-MAIL me and I will give you his phone# and maybe you guys can work a deal! I just cant stand the idea of sending them out, with out a second chance at life or to help restore yours. PLEASE REMEMBER I dont know anything about them just, posting for a friend. P.S. he said that he would take $500.00 each. GOOD LUCK !!
 
didnt make f-12's in 29 :lol:


im guessing they are out in a field somewhere, probably stuck, with busted blocks and 500 for that is way to high unless he wanted to sell a few parts off them before he junked em, that would be a differnt story
 
Since he is asking 500 dollars each,that means that he is expecting to get 250 dollars a ton for scrap metal.Around here we get only 120 dollars a ton or there about,the last time I took scrap in.Have him to come down to about 200 each and someone may be interrested in them.By the way where is he at??? I wouldn't pay 500 dollars for them myself but someone may want to pay 200 or 250 for them.
 
Depends on where you are in relation to a railhead or deep water port... more money is spent on getting it to the trainload buyer so less is available to pay in central TX... That scrap has to be hauled to Houston or Corpus to get top dollar, and that takes money itself.
 
I guess scrapping is the quickest, least labor intensive method. There has to be lots of usable parts on them. Have you seen them? Maybe a person could salvage some of the easiest parts to remove. Hoods, gas tanks, especially cast steering wheels, etc.

I just hate to see that many good parts go bye-bye.

Could you post some pictures? That would sure help spur interest.

I would like a shot at them, just too far away.

keep us posted, Gene

Is that for a tractor?, that is mixed steel, cast and tin or is that for clean, seperated, prepared steel? That makes a lot of differance in what you are getting paid.
 
well my 2 cents is the tractors that go for scrap is like anything else, the ones still running are worth more because of it :~)
 
I can believe some of you are thinking they are scrap. They didnt make too many too start with (less than the h and m) and with more getting hauled away, whats going to happen to people that are going to need parts 10 or 20 years down the road. As far as Im concerned, I can tell all the scrappers were to go and tell China to choke on the stuff. my 2 cents worth. Have a good one.
 
my son went to the scrap yard this mourning found a 656 farmall all there except the tires rims and motor had them set it out going back with trailor he brought home the wide front nose and bolster he said the three point is complete double remote the dash is broke still will make a nice parts tractor has a good 10 wt brackett
 
In SW North Dakota this summer it was $150 per ton for farm tractors with all fluids drained. $100 per ton if they had to drain fluids.
