Unstyled A Questions and Value

I found a 37 A project. Has been pretty much sitting for 20 years. last started 4 years ago and now is stuck. One thing that was different about it is it had rear cast wheels (A1282R) and 6x6 hubs with pressed steel rims on the font. The rear wheels were split rims. 8x36 per my tape I have only ever seen spoke wheels of some sort on them. All tires are junk. the sheet metal and fuel tanks have surface rust but nothing too bad. What would you pay for it? The guy is asking about three times scrap value for it but says if he cant sell it will send it to be scrapped.
 

Its kind of sad that he wouldn't just sell it for scrap value or even a little more. I would be surprised if he couldn't get $500 for it and these days I doubt he'll get that in scrap.
 
Three times scrap price would be about $500? That sounds fair if you are looking for complete project tractor. You can probably buy a restored tractor for half what will cost to fix one up.

I guess that really all depends on the situation and the person. I know someone that managed to get a stuck tractor working again. All it cost him was time, he managed to get all the pistons out without damaging anything. A new set of rings and a good hone made it run like new.
After that it was primer, paint and the electric bill.
