DON'T scrap them!!!!
There may be a lot of them around, but as the saying goes - they aint making any new ones.
At least TRY advertising it on craigslist at or close to scrap value (to keep scrappers away).
Or better yet, as somebody else said, donate it to your local 4H or ffa - they can give you a receipt for the fair value of the trator (say 1300 each or so). That's a direct deduction on your taxes - true value will depend on your tax bracket.
But you'll also have the satisfaction of REALLY making the day of some kids wanting to restore a trator - who otherwise might not ever get the opportunity.
Somebody just donated a hay rake to our club, and you can't imagine how much it's appreciated. Not only are the kids going to restore it, but they're going to use it in the spring.
While I'm going on about this - if there's anybody within 500 miles of massachusetts looking to donate any equipment - please let me know!!!
