My wife s Grandfathers tractor caught on fire. It is a Ferguson T0-20 or a TE-20 I don t know the difference. He said it cranked over a couple of times and exploded in flames. He was able to roll it out of the shed and saved the shed. Don t know if the battery exploded or it had a fuel leak or what. Burnt the steering wheel, battery, all the wiring, and the top radiator hose and belt off. One tire had a lug catch on fire but he got that put out with a container of water that was sitting near by as it had rained the night before.
He (grandfather) is getting long in the tooth and said it was just as well to send it to the scrap yard. I don t know what scrap price is on a 2500 lb tractor but I suspect it is low. The tractor may not be worth fixing (I don t know) but I suspect it is worth more that scrap. I seen a few online that were $1500 in running condition. It has been a while since I used the tractor, but the tires had dry rot and the rear axle seals leaked bad enough there were virtually no brakes.
Since I would have to load it and haul it off I figured if might be best to post it online and sell it where it sits. What would be a fair selling price in this condition?

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
