Value of non-running C?

Hello,
I went and looked at a 1949 Allis C this morning. It does not run. It appears the starter or the switch is bad. It has a 5 foot woods belly mower with hydraulic lift and a 3pt 5ft blade.

Is there any way to bypass the switch to see if the starter is bad? I could use the hand crank from my CA to see if the engine is stuck. It is parked on a hill facing uphill.

Thanks,
Steve in S. IL

My last C was free. It had a stuck engine and hoards of problems and the tires were useless. When I finished it 11 months later, I concluded that the price was about right.

I've picked up 4-C all nonrunning in the past 2 years and the top dollar I payed for any of them was $400 and it came with a sickle mower. As far as by passing the switch if its the factory one you just unscrew it and take the battery cable and touch it to the nub that is sticking up and if the starter is good it should spin over if the battery is good that is. With the mower under it I would say $500 tops if it doesn't run. If it runs then it could be worth up to $1000-1500 if the tires are good and its in its work cloths. By the way the other 3-C I picked up where all under $250 and one was $50

The starter switch is hard to jump on that starter.IF you can get at the lug on the top of the STARTER(not the one where the cable connects but below it, many are internal of the starter and cannot be accessed)you can hit it with a jumper cable from the battery.BIG arc when you hit it and the starter will spin the engine. Not my favorite way of starting one but it may work. Your best bet would have someone pull you and start it that way. The current owner should be happy to help as a non running tractor is worth WAY less than one you can start and operate to test.
