Whats a famall M worth?

I think its beyond repair but was thinking about parting it out. If parting it out is a good idea what should I offer for it? Id like to make more money to put into the 484.

1. How can someone sell something on ebay that came from a piece of junk and they don't really know if it works? Some metal body parts, etc. maybe but I'm thinking of the expensive stuff such as hydraulic pumps or even the transmission. If someone emailed you on ebay and asked if it worked, you would probably say the guy I bought it from said the guy who sold it to him said the engine was stuck but everything else worked. That isn't very reassuring which is why I'm leary of anything on ebay that purports to be a mechanically working part. If it did work, you don't know how well it worked or how much wear it had.

2. What can be made from taking something to a scrap dealer? Seems like the scrap dealers buy metal that is separated into different types and they pay less if it isn't cleaned. Then you have all your time and gas into hauling stuff around to the scrap dealers as well as the time and oxy/acetylene costs to cut stuff up. I'm just wondering if a pulled a old broken down tractor across the scale, what they would give per #? There are some scrappers around here who are geared up for doing all this but it is a full time business for them. I called a couple scrap yards about bringing some old farm junk, old lawn mowers, field and barbed wire, alum storm windows,and other crap but one place didn't want wire and they wanted the frames stripped off the glass of the windows (a real pain), they don't want the mowers, and they want it all separated. It is about as easy just to haul it to the landfill. Not enough weight to pay for the gas to haul it 30 miles. A lot of things like tractors and engines are a combination of cast iron and metal.

Went to a sale last year and an entire old metal working shop built into a shed with the old wide belts and pulleys installed up in the rafters driving everything sold for a couple hundred bucks. Tons of cast iron and steel if someone was interested in scrapping it out. It would have been a major undertaking to dismantle it and haul it out and then I wasn't sure what the iron was worth. Same goes for old farm implements that can be had dirt cheap if someone wants to cut them up for sale.

There comes a time that even if you were given the tractor,that is simply not worth the money you'd sink into it to ''fix it up''.Some tractors are simply too far gone.If it once belonged to your family,and it had a sentimental value to you,then you'd fix this tractor regardless the cost.
