Value of Farmall C Engine Siezed

Posted by carpenter on April 08, 2005 at 09:18:44 from (66.41.94.139):

I have been approched on my interest in a Farmall C or Super #FC 36471 That I believe to be a 49 C. The owner Believes it to be a 52 Super C. It Has a water pump as I understand the Super C had. Has not been run for six years however the owner says it ran great with no smoke when parked. The radiator is full with clean anti Freaze. The air filter is clean. The hoses and belts appear to be in good condition. Overall it looks like the owner,who has died, Maintained the tractor well. It is straight and the tires are good with one new in the back and one new in the front. The tractor has a rain flap and a can over the rain flap. The breaks appear to be somewhat wore and the clutch was slightly stuck when I first tried it. I put the tractor in low gear and tried rocking a little to see if the engine would turn a little but no.

Does anyone want to take a shot at the value?
Is it possible if the engine was in good condition when parked that it is serviceable after being freed? Does any one with experiance have any suggestions.

My thought was putting oil in the plugs and getting lucky might not be the best course of action. Maybe pull the head right away to check for frozen valves and condition of engine. Check cylinder walls?

Any advise from your experiance?

Thanks carpenter
