Jeff Sanford said: (quoted from post at 04:50:19 07/17/13) Where are you getting $355 a ton as a scrap price? That's not what he paid for them. That's what he's willing to let them go for. I guess you think he's going to give them away for what he gave? He's been paying $200 a ton and his asking price is WAY less than what he can get after he crushes them. He has to make money to pay his bills; lights, electric, fuel, labor, insurance, maintenance, repairs, etc. There's a minimal economic lesson there for you.
I got 355 a ton off Pete's number and estimating the 60 to weigh 3 ton (it won't weigh 3 ton as it sits, though - too much metal is gone). But then I looked closer at the ad and see you stated .17 per pound. That's $340 a ton. I don't expect him to give it away. That's why I say he's probably gonna end up crushing it. It's just too common a tractor and that particular one is just too far gone. Now, you could strip it for parts....
Tell him you'll pay .17 per pound for just the parts you want.

What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
