I came across a 1952 farmall h that needs a major restoration for $250. It needs all new rubber and a whole engine rebuild. The rims are rusted out and gas tank is shot. It is also missing some parts. I hate to see a tractor go to scrap. It would be a lot of work, does anyone think it"s worth the time and money? Thanks!

Sounds like you found yourself a parts tractor. Buy it and keep looking for a better one to fix up. The first rule of resoring anything is to buy the best that you can afford.

Rebuilding the engine can cost you $1500-2000, tires and tubes could be $7-800, etc. Restoring a $1500 tractor could actually save you money. Unless this tractor is 'family', I'd keep looking.

$250 is not a bad price, wouldn't want to pay too much more than that considering the condition, but I doubt if you will find one for much less. If you don't get too impatient hunting the parts you will find some real bargains. The parts you will be needing are readily available, You just need to do some shopping.

It's hard to say if it would be worth the time and money, but it might be worth the FUN. Tractor restoration is generally not a practical or profitable venture, unless you place part of the value on FUN!.
