I was contacted a month ago by the daughter of one of our club members who passed away a year ago about how to dispose of his collection. So last Sunday, I go to see what is there. Over 20 tractors, primarily IH, Case 580 CK backhoe-loader, shop tools etc. No more than 2 of these were in any condition to start and run. Farmall M's, H's, C's and a F30 along with a 424 and a 574.
All of these were partially disassembled and awaiting some repair that never happened.
Am I wrong to assume that a non-running tractor is worth about half or less than a runner. None of these are "rare" models and with scrap value at 5 cents a pound minus the weight of the rubber brings an M to about 200 dollars.
There isn't enough room on the property to hold an auction, I suggested something like Purple Wave.com to move these all at one time. I would like to see her receive the most value for them, but under the circumstances a quick sale would be preferred.
If given the opportunity, would something like a silent auction, where everyone would place a bid in an envelope next to the sale item work? Bad thing is it would evolve a second trip if they were the winning bidders.
Thank's for your ideas and input into this difficult problem.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
