I am looking at an 856 to buy for restoration. Some parts have already been scrapped off of it, but I'd say 85% of it is there. It is a gas, but don't anybody make a fuss out of it because it is for restoration purposes, not full time economical farming. It was in a fire, what burned or how the tractor burned is not known.

The way the battery is melted would show that it was a WOOF type of fire, where it didn't burn long, or was in a structure fire in which it was pulled out or something, exposing it to fire for maybe ten minutes. How much could restoration run me, between buying parts, cab parts, and overall fixings? Thanks to all in advance.
