Joe pretty well covered it - H-C made components for combines & other cutterbars, so I suspect you have an older combine.

A picture is worth a 1000 words, if you post pictures here folks will help you right away.

Lacking pictures, you need much more description - what color is your machine(s)? Size? Does it have it's own engine, or a pto shaft, or no moving parts? Is it something towed by horese or a tractor, or is it self-propelled? Do parts of it go into the ground, or does it have a sickle bar to cut, or ? And so on. You get the idea.

As to value, anything sitting out in the weeds for a decade is not going to be worth more than $100, probably $10-25 for scrap iron. Face it, the machine was parked out there for a reason - couldn't be sold back then, worth less now.

A few exceptions would be a tractor with good tin (blown engines & trannies can be repaired, good tin work is getting hard to find), cast iron seats from horse drawn equipment can bring $400+, a siderake, grass mower, or plow that is all there can bring you some money. Some items like that can get you $100-700.

Good luck, it can be fun to track down what all the stuff is. :)
