That's a Graham-Paige Frazer tiller made back in the 1940's. Somebody would like to have that and restore it. Our neighbor had one in 1946. Hal
 
No. It should not go to scrap. There are collectors out there that would be happy to buy that unit for a bit more than the scrap yard will pay but at least they will restore it back to what it looked like when it was new.

Put it on Craigslist for him and haul it out of the weeds for some better photos.
 
A man back our road had two of them, in fair shape. He asked me if i could sell them, so i gave it a try, via the internet. Didn't take long for a guy to write to me, saying he'd buy them, but i had to ship them to Timbuctoo, or nigeria, or some far off place. He said he'd send a man here, to help with the crating, etc.
Also said he'd have a cashiers check to pay for them! Ohh, yeah?! Well, i told him he missed out-that i bought them myself, and was going to restore them. (I didn't) A local man came with green cash, paid for them, loaded them up and left!
