I'm no professional on the value of used equipment but a junk deere 2 row planter brings surpising amounts on local consignment sales (central WI - I think the city slicker wanna-be farmers want them). Instead of $10 scrap, you could possibly get 100-400 bucks at auction. That depends of course on how bad of shape it's in. After 15% commision and hauling it there, you might come out further ahead than scrap.

Just make sure they aren't trully junk. If they are, the scrap guy'll be there to buy them from you for half what he would have if you had brought them to him. Don't shed tears over a rusted out baler or corn picker. No one's gonna buy either if their bottoms were gone. Don't bother with the spreader unless you know a collector. You COULD grow strawberries in it in your backyard...

If the horse drawn cultivators aren't too far gone, someone might buy them for lawn art.

By the way, does that belly mounted sickle mower go on a G by any chance? You might have a buyer...

I can find out what model Allis-Chalmers he had, but I don't think they were to fit his, as he bought two identical units (I believe they were ex-town units) and modded one to be a three point hitch setup. This one is untouched other than the missing part.

I'll ask him when I see him.

The spreader and sickle mower are definately coming to my place.... I'll find homes for them or put the sickle bar under my completely weird-and-unusual Farmall A... I'll show you guys sometime when I get some pix, this tractor has been put thru a lot by previous owners but its really interesting....

The AC G is the tractor that has a rear engine and a toolbar in front. I don't know much about them other than they are 17 hp. Based on that, I'd guess the cutterbar would only be 5 ft but that's only a guess.

My father-in-law has two working units and one parts unit he got for a song. Funny thing is that he's strongly Deere and refuses to run them. It cracks me up. What's the point of owning a tractor, let alone two, if you won't run it?

I run one every now and again in his garden and it'd be interesting and useful to have the cutterbar with which to cut weeds.

If those sickle mowers are in fact for a G Email me at: wmuldoon at merr dot com

 Spreader and plow, too in reply to farmerboybill, 09-06-2004 08:41:46  
I would say if the spreader will hold manure and spread it, save it. Here, any old spreader that works, regardless of who made it, is worth at least a couple hundred bucks. That M-H plow may or may not be worth something. Where I live, there are a few M-H collectors, but M-H is one of the rarer brands in these parts, so it"d be worth more than scrap, for sure, if it"s complete and restoreable.

Yeah I figured if the spreader works its gotta be worth something. My friend had an old-and-ugly-but-functional JD and got $1000 Cdn. for it just to be used on another farm. They used it for commercial/agricultural purposes for years... then bought two new Hesstons.

I'm afraid the corn planter bought it yesterday, as the owner decided he wanted to keep the unusual iron wheels for decoration (double rims, don't know how to describe it). It was completely seized and the buckets were rotted out and patched with galvanized steel. I'm afraid the rest is on its way to china :( along with the remnants of a very large hay rake--he also wanted those iron wheels and the long angle-iron the frame was made from. I felt terrible but they are his to do with as he pleases.

The M-H drag plow and horse drawn implements I set aside and talked with the owner's son... he really likes the idea of restoring them all as garden ornaments and such, so I think they've been saved. We put all the smaller stuff in the barn out of the weather, and the plow is sitting on some wood and steel grating outside off the ground.... the barn door wouldn't open enough for us to wheel it in.

Any feedback on the sprayer? Should I just junk it? We stashed the pump parts in the barn as well for now but if no one bothers with them then there's no point in keeping it.

Thanks guys...
