I have a 48 G4 harvester that is 99% complete. Is it worth restoring or should it be parted out for the RE engine?

If possible I think it would be nice to keep a few of these around. About 90-95% of these have been parted out for the engine and the rest cut up for iron. MM sold a lot of these and were very popular in southern MN. My dad and uncles used to use them alot. They had 2-3 they ran every year.
One of my uncles had, I believe 5 of them at one time. All were parted out for engines and iron.

If it has been stored inside, i'd restore it. If not, how much work will it take? Last year I found a G4 that had been in a shed for 20 years. The one tire was rotted off from being sunk in the soft dirt or mud. I pulled it home and got the engine running, sort of(plugged carbrator) but it did run and all the belts are on it and everything. I think they shut it off and backed it in the shed. Mine has a windrow pickup head on it. I hope to try it out on something this fall. It has to be worth more than a salvaged engine. It is small enough that it could be pulled running behind a U or G in a parade. I pulled it home 60 miles behind a pickup.
Just my thoughts.
