There is a farm equipment dealer locally which has an AC C sitting on the lot. (Last time I checked.) They want $1500 for it, and I am pretty sure it runs, or did a year and a half ago when I first asked about it. Would it be worth it to offer $300-500 and then plan to clean it up and get it going again and sell it? I know this is very sketchy information, but I just wanted to see what you thought before I put much time into checking on it. When all is said and done, I would probably not sell it, but I might. If I kept it, I would mostly use it for moving trailers and wagons around. I haul a lot of stuff around and onto the place and am right now using a D17 for this chore. Would a C be more fuel efficient at this? Just a thought, appreciate your comments.

Thoughts on C....D17 I restored a hand crank B last year. With the steering,rims,tires,cyl. head,manifold,radiator,etc. I have more into it than it's worth. I paid $400 for it and kept track of my expenses,not my labor. And it still needs paint! They're all useful in their place. I use the B with a belly mower. I use a C for stationary PTO work(on a grain auger). If you're moving things around-the D17 has way more pulling,stability, and stopping capacity than the C. I consider the D17 a real tractor and the C a toy or garden tractor. AND believe me, you don't want to be climbing on and off the C. The D17 is much handier that way.

Depends what you mean by "cleaning it up". If your just going to preasure wash it and put a for sale sign on it, maybe. If you start getting into paint, tires and some mechanicals or electricals, probably not. You never seem to get your money back.
