Looked at a DC with adjustable wide front today, has eagle hitch on it and hydraulics & Case easy ride seat. No serial # & engine has been changed some where in past. Hand stamped # on flange. Guessing it is a 1952 or later He wants over 1200 for it. will need all tires, generator & grill for parts that you can see. Front rims are not the cast ones & look like they were automotive type. He is talking of scrap value, said it is 450/ton & the tractor weighs abut 6,000 lbs. Has sat for last 15-20 years in desert. engine turns over. Suggestions needed, is it worth trying to save from scrapper? Chuck

Don't know where you are, but around here (NC) scrap goes for $250/ton delivered to the scrap yard, not at your house, business, etc.

I would say it is worth saving, but quuestion the price. Does it run? I would be tempted to say keep the engine (if it really isn't the right one) and then buy the rest for scrap price.

I would check to see if he is giving you a bunch of Bullsh!t about the price of scrap. Since he would have to drain all the fluids, take the tires off and seperate the metal based on type to get ideal price.

That's pretty high (for around here in West Texas) for a DC.

But I can't imagine it would weigh 6000 pounds either. Unless it has a lot of weights on it.

I'd counter with "Why don't we find out a quoted scrap price and then weigh it??"...

If any tractor can be saved from the scrappers go for it.

Hi there Walt! I feel the DC is worth saving, depends on the condition of the parts that are on the tractor, like the eagle hitch and hydraulics, the wide front end parts, front rims and conditon of the rear rims. a plus is the engine turns over, I suppose the rear fenders are gone or if there need plenty of work. I think he is asking plenty of money for it. If it is a 1952 and newer it will have LPT which is a plus, especially if you are going to work the tractor with a loader or something. the tractor should weigh around 5500 lbs with out the rear weights and no liquid in the rear tires. I have a 1951 DC with the adjustable front end and thats what mine weighs. Good luck, Caseman44 or Harold.
