Hello, total tractor newbie here. Looking for advice. Always thought about making a long term project out of restoring one of these old machines. I've restored a few old chevys before. I know some folks who are heavy into the john deere and farmall scene around here. They usually snatch them up quickly so it's hard to find one. I ran across a C (I think)the other day in a junkyard. It looks complete except for the battery box is missing. Sheet metal is ok I guess. Lots of surface rust everywhere. Some rotting rust here and there. Tires flat(totally shot actually), wiring gone(looks to have been in a fire at some point),gauges and lights broken out, engine is full of water according to the dipstick. I'm sure it is locked up. I know this stuff is getting harder to find everyday. Just curious what this may be worth? I know it can be bought but I never heard a number from the guy. I didn't want to act too interested. How much could you sink into one of these mechanically and parts wise? I can handle the paint/body work and some of the mechanics. Just looking for some advice I guess. Thanks!!
