Massey Harris 30

I am looking at a MH 30. The guy father swicthed in a truck engine and bell housing. It also has a homemade hood and one truck rim on the narrow front. Other then that it looks in good condition and all of the rest of it is original. Its overall condition is average. It has good tires and rims. He is asking 250 for it. I was wondering if this is a reasonable price for it. I was thinking of getting for a parts tractor or trying to find an engine for it. Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance, Doug

The truck engine doesn't even come close for longevity,weight, and is a high rev engine made for autos and a life span of 10-15 years. I've never seen one of these mods working, but I saw 2 in the scrap yard, obviously a bad and expensive learning experience for 2 people. 1 had a v8 engine with the valve covers sticking out both sides of the hood, ugly as hell.

150 seems OK for parts if everything else is in reasonable condition and not missing. I've seen these tractors go for 500 in good working condition.
